Beer- lots of choice on tap. Tom Kelly's Stout and beer, Fosbrook Bitter, Bristol Port Cider. Not expensive and a genuinely exciting selection. Brilliant!

Decor- Pure and simple. You've got your room, your bar, tables and chairs. Even the christmas decorations are pretty sparse (even though the tree is amazing in the other room). Very basic but pleasant enough and the real fires add to the charm. The walls are that fag smoke colour even though nobody will have smoked in here for a long time. Liam feels like it's a bit like a doctors waiting room, but I think it's just a basic and simple pub with no frills.

Music- Buddy Holly, 50s and 60s classics. Good but it's very quiet.

Clientele- Old men, sat on their own nursing pints. All total ale heads. A bit like a library for boozing.

Staff- As above. You can't argue with that. No conversational skills, however, Very blunt manner bordering on rude. Not impressed with our banter.
