This corner backstreet local in the Romsey Town area of Cambridge is ever popular, serving the community for many years. Three main drinking areas form a U-shape around the central bars. Pool, darts and bar billiards are played, as well as a range of board games. Regular beer festivals are held. Large patio garden with gazebo adjoining the building. Some may regard the annual festive decoration as excessive.
