Should a national heritage site. It’s been a stand out venue for years. Lots of excellent gigs ranging from well known bands to 1st gigs and the sound is always good quality. Beers decent with good range. Food is very good. Staff always friendly.
We just happened to stumble across this pub when walking back to our hotel from work. We ended up having a fantastic experience all round. We were invited to go in and watch a gig in the big stage area around the back in which we found a new favourite artist of ours, there was a fantastic range of drinks and we everybody there was super friendly. Couldn’t have had a better night by accident.

Such a great venue. We saw Reginald D.Hunter in J2 and it was brilliant. Well worth the wait after it was put back due to Covid. The venue is so intimate that you can fully see the stage no matter where you sit. I’ve followed the Facebook page and am excited to see more events here soon.
Love the Junction. A great small scale music venue that has a bar selling Punk IPA and no posts in front of the stage. Also, it’s 30 metres from a Travel Lodge and 30 metres from a Five Guys! Perfect.
Great venue, smaller than I was expecting which made it a bit more intimate and the view was good from everywhere. Service at the bar was quick and the band sounded great.

The wonders of Cask Marque and Google found this gem of a back street local. Small beer garden to side plus some in front. Good real ale pub. Had another new brewery.

We love coming to this pub for their pub quiz night! It is a very difficult pub quiz, but it’s great fun with a group of friends. Be sure to get there at least an hour early to snag a table. They do serve dinner, so you can easily get dinner and then wait for the pub quiz.
This pub has a great atmosphere about it. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Food was excellent and it is very reasonably priced. The staff made me feel very welcome upon my visit, I will most certainly be returning.10/10.
