Evening, quiet. The pub has had an internal makeover - dark green walls, subdued lighting in the main bar, more, smaller tables. We notice it is now calling itself a “gastro pub”. Beer expensive and ordinary. Bridge is now bereft of a proper boozer I fear with the Plough and Harrow closed, the Bridge Arms (sic) a part-time restaurant and The Pig for DFLs. Time for a micro in the village?

Mid afternoon post walk pint with family. We managed to get a table - but was heaving and looked to have been even busier earlier. Just the Harvey’s on pump.

Heaving. Where did all these people come from. Most were having afternoon lunches and doing secret-Santa, from what I could see. Unsurprisingly, service was a little slow. Friendly pub though.

My wife took me out for lunch. Very good food. Shame about the attitude to full pints here, it seems to be a consequence of neither landlords being real ale drinkers.

Sunday lunchtime. Busy with eaters and lager drinkers. Poor show on the ale front. Ghost Ship pump clip turned round, Pride ran out and Harvey’s flat.

The football was on, Wexham vs Shefield Wednesday. Most people seemed to be watching that.

Sunday lunch cycle meeting. Not as busy as I expected. The young bar person poured us full pints every time (something the landlords could learn from here). A second, rather good Ruby beer from Greene King on, can’t remember the name, new to me.

Sunday lunch - very busy but we had good service and a pleasant meal.

Over for a cycle group meeting. Festive feel and a very welcoming wood burning stove. I like this place for food and ambience - just would like one of the landlord’s to take a bit more interest in the beer. They were both behind the bar when I took my very short pint back for a top-up and got a sarcastic response and a reluctant top-up.

Mid afternoon. Cold but sunny. Lots of outdoor seating.
