For a pub so close to the tackfest that is the Trocadero Centre, this one makes a fair go at being a normal boozer. That a decent drop of Timothy Taylor Landlord can be had helps, as does the rather lived-in feel of the pub (you sense there's been some good nights celebrated here over the years). Not a stone cold classic but, given the area, a pub with a welcome bit of atmosphere.
