A fourth said: "Good traditional street corner boozer away from the town centre. It's owned by bank top brewery so serves extensive range of the local breweries ales. I'm not sure how many are revolving guests but if bank top brew it they surely sell it. I had a pavilion pale and a flat cap, both very nice.
