About This Pub
Ah, the Old English Gentleman – it's one of those pubs that really captures the heart of a traditional British spot, isn't it? I mean, you've got that warm, inviting atmosphere where you can kick back with a pint and have a laugh over a game of pool or darts, all without it costing the earth. The drinks are cheap, and the staff are always up for a chat, which makes it feel like a proper community hub. But, let's be honest, it's not all roses; there are evenings when things get a tad lively with a few too many getting carried away, and that can put a damper on the fun. Plus, it's cash only, so you have to plan ahead, and the small rooms can make it feel a bit squished if it's busy. All in all, if you're after an authentic, no-frills pub experience with a mix of charm and character, it's worth popping in – just go with the flow and you'll have a good time.

Creepy local pub full of webbed feet locals. 2 stars for letting me out without a stab wound.
Small pub with a nice atmosphere and free pool table
Free pool and darts, cheap drinks. The interior is really nice too. There's often some people getting too drunk and being a nuisance, but they get kicked out normally. Overall very cosy and local, but not necessarily peaceful. They don't take card.
Okay pub but could be better if they had not run out of bitter. Friendly bar staff. There's also a tiny annex with a pool table. Can be awkward to play due to the size of the room.
Good old fashioned pub. Like a pub should be. Friendly atmosphere.
