Mid evening and busy with mainly walkers with their wet smelly dogs. Pub has been modernised and made trendy since my last visit.

Arkell's - Hoperation IPA4.50AcceptableHazy sweet and rather acetic. Served by a barmaid with zero interest or knowledge of the beers on offer.

This month's meeting place for our Friday evening group, I had never been here before but I liked it as soon as I walked in the door. A proper pub with various drinking areas and no signs of any gastro food. We looked at the various collections on display which included model aeroplanes and bank notes.

Venue for our Friday Evening Group to which I'm an occasional visitor. Early evening and we sat in the left hand bar. Proper pub atmosphere in a picturesque location by the common.
