About the Pub Dating from 1936, the Admiral Drake now stands isolated - dwarfed by the Rudmore flyover. The U-shaped bar room is bare boarded and furnished with a mix of traditional tables and chairs as well as high tables and bar stools. There is a performance area for live bands to the right as you enter, with a large Union flag forming a backdrop. A pool table and jukebox can be found here - and there is a dart board at the rear of the pub. Various sporting events are shown on television. A real log fire is a welcome sight opposite the bar counter throughout the colder months. The pub sells three or four well-kept cask ales, sourced from breweries both large and small, with guest beers from across the country, including offerings that are unusual for the local area. There is also a small range of bottled beers on sale, with offerings from both the USA and UK (selection subject to regular change). Traditional Cider is sometimes served on handpump. A wide range of food is offered at certain times of the day, including sandwiches, paninis, burgers and main meals, with prices being very reasonable indeed. The pub is a popular destination for motorcycle enthusiasts and live music fans. Outside events are held during the summer in the pub's large car park. A patio area is provided year-round.
