Another welcome Sam Smiths reopening (actually on 13 Oct 2026), all nicely cleaned and tidied up with no major changes. There is a central servery area, with three rooms across the front and a games room behind, all decorated in cream, brown and maroon with traditional furnishings as you would expect. The "Digital Detox" signs have been replaced by " Technology Free Zones", with a slightly more prescriptive description of what is not allowed, but are a bit more discretely displayed. Just OBB on handpump of course but in good condition (£3.60). All in all a pleasant pub.

Decent three roomed Sam Smiths community pub, it was quiet on this Thursday evening but had a few locals in. It’s a pleasant place with everything you expect from this brewery. the room I was in was like a shrine to Admiral Nelson with naval images to the fore.

Spruced up on the outside since the last review. This is a very neat Sam Smiths pub. Four rooms around a central servery all nicely decorated. A chatty landlord gave us a warm welcome as did the two other drinkers in the pub. A pint of mild and a half of cider came to just £2.87. We may well call in here again next times we're walking down Nunnery Lane.
