About the Pub
This is the original tap house for the multi-award winning Bank Top Brewery, based less than a mile away. It is a popular and busy two-roomed street-corner local with a large outdoor drinking area and covered smoking shelter. The atmosphere is one of a traditional community pub with conversation to the fore and distractions limited to quiet background music and a dartboard and small, often silent TV in the bar. The pub is a showcase for locally-brewed real ale promoted by knowledgeable bar staff and has deservedly won numerous CAMRA awards. There are eight handpumps supplying ales mostly from Bank Top Brewery, with Flat Cap, Pavilion Pale and Dark Mild normally available alongside a changing range from the brewery stable. A guest beer from another brewery is available at all times on one of the pumps. Up to six cellar-cool bag-in-a-box real ciders are also on offer, though some of these are flavoured varieties. Autumn Pub of the Season 2016.
