Reopened in July 2023, the wood-furnished ale house has barely changed in terms of the rustic decor as you walk in, but step up to the bar and you'll notice a number of changes. The big brewer's vat has disappeared and the sixteen cask lines have been reduced to six. A firm focus on local beers sees Castle Rock beers alongside other LocAles and occasional beers from further afield. The fridge is packed with craft bottles and cans. Cider lovers can partake in local boxed Sneinton Cider and Sutton Bonington Thirsty Farmer. There are bar snacks for nibbles.
