Aside from differences in the choice of ale, there didn't seem to have been many changes from our previous visit on a Tuesday evening in October 2010. On both visits there were quite a few people in &#8212; groups, couples, and even one or two people who seemed to have come on their own to have their dinner there. Music was playing; a reasonably eclectic combination including The Specials, The Who, and various hits from the '80s. A flatscreen was showing the news with subtitles and no sound on our first visit, and the tennis with no sound on our second visit. The presence of a party with a dog (inside, not in the garden) on our second visit suggests dog-friendliness.

Notably, they have a cash machine that doesn't charge for withdrawals. They also have free wifi supplied by The Cloud; you have to give an email address and password to register, but there's no verification of the address and when [[Kake]] tried in June 2012 it happily accepted an address previously registered for Cloud wifi in a Wetherspoons.
