The Mucky Pup was a lovely surprise when it opened in the early 2000s and after a change of ownership (and direction), and in 2011 we can happily report that the factors that made this pub stand out from its local competition remain. Along with beers kept in good nick and a free jukebox featuring some wonderfully left-field selections (The Jesus Lizard, Melvins, Can), the pool table and dart board in the back room provide good distractions. As the jukebox hints, the pub has moved in a somewhat alternative direction and the various music nights they've previously hosted have provided a wonderfully esoteric foray into the outer reaches of music. With a late licence, mixed crowd and a bijou back garden, what we said of the old pub still applies: it's the sort of boozer you want to keep just for you and your mates.
