See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.

This pub is handily located opposite the railway station and on bus routes into the city. With rolling live updates of train departures showing inside this makes a welcoming retreat for those waiting for a train or needing to while away an hour or two due to unexpected delays. It's a popular pub that can get busy at weekends with a number of TVs showing sports events and is also a rare city centre pub for darts enthusiasts. To the rear is an outdoor decked smoking area and a car park (only available on Sunday and in the evenings). Seven hand pumps offer a good range of beers in the area, with local microbreweries usually represented. Real ale carry-outs are regularly available, as are third-of-a-pint taster paddles.
