Independent free house run by Charles Eld (ex-Morrells Brewery). There's always two or three interesting guest beers, and the food is excellent. Tim Taylor's Landlord and Black Sheep are regular beers there, which is a good sign.

The atmosphere is relaxed and cultured with art exhibitions, links to the local theatres and weekly live music. There are separate smoking/non-smoking sections, which is a good thing, and it's quite light and airy.

They've had two beer festivals with around eight or ten different cask ales on, so this looks like an up-and-coming place for real ale folk.

Decent food is served 12-5 each day and until 10pm on Thu, Fri and Sat.
