Located in the old Barclays Bank, this quirky bar has a rustic potting shed theme - plenty of distressed wood, floral ironwork, caged lighting, various agricultural bric-a-brac etc. The interior has been cleverly separated into discrete sections each with their own character, so there's a fairly cosy and intimate feel though beware that food takes precedence over drinking at busy times. Keg beers include Siren Craft. Large selection of bottled foreign beers available, illustrated in books on each of the tables with ambitious prices
