About This Pub
You know, when I popped into the Horse & Jockey, it really hit the spot for a relaxed evening with mates. The staff are absolute gems – so helpful and chatty, which makes the whole place feel like a proper community hub. It's got that cosy, old-fashioned charm with things like darts nights and a pool table, and the prices are dead reasonable, so you can kick back with a decent ale without spending a fortune. That said, it's not without its flaws; I heard from a few that they don't have draught ale on offer, which is a bit of a letdown if you're a real ale aficionado. Plus, while they've got a policy against swearing, it doesn't always hold up, and things can turn a tad boisterous. All in all, it's a solid choice if you're after a friendly spot for a pint and some laughs, but keep those points in mind for the full picture.
