I'm a regular here now. A couple of small screen TV if you want. Hand Pulled ales et al. Two tap rooms. Drink leaning on the bar and chat to the locals or sit down in a quiet corner. No food other than crisps and scratchings.

Lovely home ales and selection of beers, one of the best landlord/landlady around (Mark and Louis) great friendly bar staff... Been made my local because it's the best pub in olde Retford town : )

Great pint always friendly atmosphere good landlord n landlady . Which is unusual these days also nice beer garden.
