Review from tantallon.org.uk:
Smallish Grimsbury pub just over the river from the town centre by the railway station. Pool table in the public bar, television showing Central News in the lounge. There was only the two of us, a few people playing pool, and the barman when we went on an early Friday evening. * Theakston's Mild £1.40 * Younger's Bitter &163;1.45 (iv.2001)
