Mid afternoon friendly welcome a jovial group sat at the small bar who were enjoying a long lunchtime session. Not an exciting beer range but struck lucky again with beer quality. Love the gothic interior much akin to The Imperial Arms in Chislehurst.

Late afternoon and quiet. Cosy, relaxed atmosphere similar to a posh hotel bar.
