The " 'shoes " is a nice old coaching inn, at the edge of the town centre, next to the rail station. it has several rooms plus plenty of seting next to the bar. It comes complete with old wooden door where the horses went through to a yard, now the garden. At the bar there are usually three constantly changing beers, often local. There are live bands at weekends, on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights.
Out the back there is a small garden / terrace with seating. Parking, at the rear, is a bit limited. There is a paying car park close by.

Excellent, friendly atmosphere and well-kept beer and cider. Often has live music.
Partner and I popped in last night and decided to go elsewhere before ordering, as we left the bar lady made a sarcastic comment out loud to us. Very rude and unwelcoming staff. Glad we decided to not stay for a drink with attitude like that. Would avoid this pub in the future. Visited the dandy lion afterwards which was much better.
What a find! Amazing atmosphere, and so much to look at, will be coming back!
Brilliant vibes here in this vibrant pub! The staff were friendly and the beer selection was great. Nice to have a Red Stripe on tap! There’s a spacious and quirky outdoor space and the music was spot on. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area.
If you want great drinks, a good old fashioned pub and live music this is 100% the place. If you want fancy food and twee decor - avoid! I love the place, as its refreshing to find somewhere that is so dedicated to keeping live music alive and well. Right next to the station too, to great for the train. There is a municipal car park, but it can be hard to locate a space at times (so take the train).
