It was quiet when we visited so my 5/5 for atmosphere is really about the "feel" of the place. And it "feels" like I'll go back to Ye Olde Black Bull when I'm next in the neighborhood."

There is a small courtyard at the rear. A gentle enjoyable place for a beer or two. I liked the bit of pub etiquette posted on the bar. Better put this away or I'll die of thirst!"
