Come for the beer and stay for the banter! The Burns is one of those pubs where if you want to go and join in the conversation you are always more than welcome, as is your dog. This is a two room bar where most of the lively conversation takes place in the main bar on the right as you enter. In the winter months there is also a very welcome open fire. Further back is a raised section with a pool table. The lounge bar on the left of the entrance only tends to be occupied when there is no seating left in the public bar, but you are still welcome to use it even when quiet. TV screens show whatever match is on and are generally muted. A juke box plays tunes mainly from the 60’s to the 80’s.
