Having failed to get served for a third pint in the Spoons walked over the road to here. Much better, good choice of beer, excellent service, and a good atmosphere.

13:45 Lunch stop. Very welcoming staff. The pub is directly opposite the Wetherspoons that opened a year ago. He is still trading so must be doing something right given the price competition.
