No cask. Keg offering of Guinness, Caffrey's Black Stout and their smooth ale, Carling, Stella, original SB, Madri, Worthington CF and the dark fruits Carling cider.

Traditional pub with terracotta tiles and brown leather banquette around the front wall and along the front left-hand side serving regular tables. The bar counter is a three-sided affair off the right-hand wall in the middle of the space and there is some tall stool seating around its sides. The space to the left of the bar counter houses a pool table and there is a dart board in the rear left-hand corner. The other side of the bar counter had another pool table but not operational and the right-hand corner had another couple of dart boards. Ad hoc seating at the rear. The large screen TV was switched off on my visit, and a rap-based soundtrack was playing. There is a large rear beer garden, grassed with picnic style benches. There is another outside seating area at the left-hand side of the venue, tarmac and with the same style of traditional picnic benches. Just locals in on my visit and reminded ahead of my Guinness being poured that it was cash only by a very friendly manageress. The banter amongst locals was on the more interesting side of things you hear pub patrons typically discussing shall we say!
