[[Kake]] visited on a Tuesday evening in September 2011. There were quite a few people in when I arrived around 7pm, though still plenty of tbles free. No music was playing. When I got there, the flatscreens were showing a sport channel with the sound either off or very low, but as the time of that evening's football match (England v Wales Euro 2012 qualifier) approached, the sound was turned up loud and the volume of conversation rose with it.

All four handpumps were on, though one ran out during my visit; the three survivors were Red Squirrel London Porter (&pound;2.90/pint), Brakspear Oxford Gold, and Marston's Pedigree.

As of September 2011, food is served noon-3pm and 5pm-8pm Mon-Fri, noon-6pm Sat, and noon-4pm Sun. [[Kake]] tried the five-bean chilli (&pound;4.75 including tortilla chips, sour cream, and a choice of rice or chips) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/6129975250/ photo]</small>. It was OK. There wasn't much flavour in it other than chilli heat, and the beans were inconsistently cooked, some under and some over.

A commenter called Nick W (November 2011) tells us that they have a policy of cleaning the ale lines between every cask.
According to the 2012 Good Beer Guide, there's a pool table and dartboard.

[[Kake]] visited again on a Thursday afternoon in September 2017. There were about a dozen other customers at 3:30pm, some seemingly regulars. Magic FM was playing, not too loud. The handpumps were clipped for four real ales and one real cider: Banks's Mild (&pound;1.50/half), Ringwood Forty Niner, Marston's Pedigree, Cotleigh Uncle Sam, and Original Somerset Cider Co Amber Apple Jack.
Accessibility: There are steps at the front entrance, but the side entrance has no steps. Once you're in, it's step-free to the bar, most if not all of the seating, and the accessible toilet. Other toilets are up a flight of stairs with a u-turn in the middle and a sturdy handrail on both sides.

Comment added by Nick W: I drink at this pub regularly and the real ale is good though their policy of cleaning ale lines between every cask can be annoying if you have to wait over an hour for the beer that you had the flavour for. Ok, there are usually 4 other options to choose but I like to stick to the one I start with
