text: In my view, the great thing about the Cask and Barrel is that it serves unique and high quality drinks at reasonable prices and without the ostentatious atmosphere.  Inside it feels like a traditional pub with a fancy, well-polished wooden bar, comfortable seating and really polite, friendly staff.  However, it also succeeds in attaining a contemporary feel with at least five plasma screens showing the latest sporting events. \nI was in when they were showing a World Cup qualifying match and the place had a great fun and friendly atmosphere.  Further, the pints tasted abnormally fresh and they had a great selection of spirits and speciality cider and beers on offer.  \nI really enjoyed my experience of Cask and Barrel and I encourage anyone to visit just for the homely atmosphere.
