Closed for the night when we arrived, which was a shame.

Mid evening (at least in terms of Micropub opening times). Not too many in.

Ah the Parkerville. Sat in the back and watched the Wales-Scotland rugby game. Excellent atmosphere.

Excellent condition. Had the initial smell and flavour of Gadd's No. 7 but with a much sweeter malt body. Very drinkable.

Mid afternoon friendly and welcoming as always here from the bemused locals and barmaid when we all piled in! Busy in the front bar so we occupied the vacant rear bar during our short stay.

Friendly welcome and just a few folk in the front bar so we took over the empty back room and endured the unnecessary and loud music for our stay.

Found this rather cloying and acetic despite its clarity.
Micropub style pub opened in former Mac's Music Store in High Street (eastern end), its name is derived from the proprietor's surname. Opened Friday 29th July 2016. Low tables and chairs at the front with a corner bar counter. Cask ales and ciders are served on gravity dispense from a small temperature controlled cellar room behind the bar. The stillage is on 2 tiers, each holding 4 casks. There is further seating down one step towards the rear and at the very back is storage for a rump musical instruments sales business which remains on the premises from its Mac's days. There is a small stage with piano by the front window.
We have visited this pub 59 times, seen 129 different beers and tried 57 of them.
