Early evening. A friend had recommended this and I saw that it had POTY awards in the past. Rather disappointing though - just two ales on although a good selection of bottled beers on the board. Friendly welcome, but only a handful of other customers in and the decor was very tired, but not in a pleasing way. Other beer on had a paper pump clip - I think it was Captain Smiths Titanic - which I really should have tried but I wasn’t in a mood to linger.

The pub is found in Alnwick, Northumberland, NE66 1UY.

In Howick Street, from the front of the building looks like a house. Once inside see the four handles on the bar and all the whisky on display.

We have visited this pub twice, seen 3 different beers and tried them all.
