This former NBC brewery tap has a fantastic exhibition of Breweriana everywhere inside the pub. A (possibly) unique NBC neon-lit star adorns the front of the pub reminding us of its former ownership. The pub serves up to eight ales, from local and regional microbreweries, three real ciders, Belgian draught and bottled beers. At least one dark beer is always available. There are two drinking areas with a carpeted area to the front and a more open plan area with wooden floors to the rear.
