The Carlton Arms had a reputation for being a very dodgy pub for quite a few years. Certainly when we first moved into the area we wouldn't have been stupid enough to go into the Carlton.

It was closed down a year or so ago after a firearms incident which had many police, dog units, an armed response unit and the police helicopter in attendance.

Then Terri & Jehro took it over and things got better; I guess that it just goes to show how much the people running a pub can effect it.
