From the outside, the Ladybird
Inn looks like one of those traditional coaching houses. It’s in an ideal
location as it’s right next to the train station so everyone knows of its
existence and it’s always full of locals. I’ve never known it to be quiet; it’s
either quiz night or packed with locals watching sport. And it’s also one of
those pubs where you have to jostle the bar staff for your attention if you're not
known. It’s havoc to park because the pub has a hotel chain attached to it so there’s
always a large van or two parked which no-one wants to park next to; and as
it's near a roundabout it’s hard to find other parking. They’re one of the few
pubs in the area to give discounts to CAMRA members; though they don't really
need to. But their guest beer range is very reasonable even without the
existence of their local brewery. And there's also an upstairs function which
is where I spend most of my time when I'm visiting there.
