So it used to be run by the BB and then P2 (pink panther) and now it is run by NTT...who are they - the PRINCES are 'TT' in code as far as I can remember...and the 'new' suggests to me the NEW IMPERIAL HOTEL in Jerusalem and that 'all colour-coded tags to keys' change...

I've been in a couple of times recently and have been welcomed by the landlord on each ocassion. Three ales on offer from Adnams and Wolf breweries. A lot of potential as is a reasonable size with a bar area and a seated area and is right in the middle of a lot of housing.

I thought this pub was going to be great under a new name and landlord...how wrong I was. I've visited twice - last time I was met by an obnoxious little t**t behind the bar. He was rude and full of himself. I asked for a pint of Broadside to be told it wasn't on (turn the clip round then I thought). I then asked for a pint og Black Sheep - it smelt like egg. Shame; the pub has so much potential but I refuse to be treated like I was and will just spend my money elsewhere.

Newly re-opened pub, it had previously been the Blue Boar, and the Pink Panther, and now re-opened as a real ale pub.
Price is good, but beer selection not so great. 3 ales on, but the one i had was off so had to return it. Only beers left were 2 Adnams beers. Would have expected a better choice on a Saturday.
Lots of potential in this place, just needs to be realised.
