A return, just to say there is a dartboard as well - otherwise, it is as it was.

This is a terraced Sam Smith's pub, with patio at the back. It was the home of Sunday School founder, Robert Raikes. It is a triple gabled and triple jettied Tudor house (much altered), in white and wood. The pub has at least 6 small rooms, all with wood flooring, off a central corridor, along with a stairwell area. The first room is in red, with some red patterned sofas and comfy chairs, along with and a small fireplace and prints on the walls. The second is predominantly in wood panel, again with prints and a small fireplace. The third has the serving bar, which is in green, with prints on the walls. There is a room in red an beam walls, with samples of old wallpaper in, which has a flag floor. The front two are in green and beams, with a Tudor style brick and stone fireplace in each and have wood settles and furniture, with flag floor. There is no TV and no music. They do food at reasonable prices - we ate here and it was perfectly fine. The service was friendly and the clientele mixed - it was busy. Beer, a full range of Sam Smith's with the Dark MILD (Light MILD available at the Old Crown), which was excellent, as well as the stout. Also has bottle drinks. A nice place to visit, and worthy of doing so even if you are not a Sam Smith fan.
