This is the antithesis of the city centre knock-through, barn-of-a-pub, circuit drinkers favourite.   Four real ales and plenty of places to sit & enjoy your drink without having to hear every other group in the pub.   Plenty of places to rest your pint so you can enjoy the conversation too.   Always was a popular student pub and would appear to still be.

Radcliffe & Maconie have mentioned it a few times on their evening show broadcast from over the road at BBC Northⁱ.
