Review:  


Traditional medium sized pub with an L shaped bar and two main entrances that both lead on to High Bridge. The pub has recently reverted back to it's former name Duke of Wellington. It has an excellent tradition of serving real ales and there are several on offer with beer festivals held regularly. There is plenty of seating throughout with wooden tables and chairs and ample standing room around the bar. The pub has a wooden floor and old pictures of the Duke of Wellington and Waterloo adorn the walls.

The pub is frequented by real ale drinkers, locals, and people on a night out. It is a very popular pub which is always busy at weekends and during the week. Quiz night Monday from 9pm with free buffet. Several widescreen TV's are located throughout the bar which feature all live sports and football. Regular music is on play with a juke box in one corner near to the toilets.

 

Disabled access good to main bar but can be difficult to toilets which are small and reasonable. A newspaper rack is to be found close by the toilets.
