Sunday lunchtime, arrived at noon but there were already a dozen customers in (it opens at 11 every day now).
7 of us had a rather jolly time around the longer bar.

Despite Storm Bert I joined four other cyclists here for a lunchtime pint. Sat in the sunny front window near the bar. A good buzz in here of mostly drinkers and a good choice of ales.

Lunchtime cycle meet. Only 3 of us today. 5 or six others in. The pub has changed hands recently with a previous landlord and landlady taking it back on. Wet day but no log fire. It was nowhere near as cosy as our last visit. Reasonable prices - £4.40 for the Gadd’s.
