Afternoon visit. Comfortably busy. Service a tad surly for the price I thought

15:00 Fairly quiet, just two or three locals in. That said a good atmosphere to the place, I was taken with the unusual mix of furniture. My son drew my attention to the unusual "dragon" beam in the ceiling.

Fairly crowded when I went with my wife for a lunchtime snack following a visit to the dentist. There weren't many seats available but we found one on the settee in front of a most welcome log fire.

Virtually empty, but it was after lunch time and before the evening trade. The pub is relatively small, with a main front room and a small area back towards the bar. I quite liked it.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marston's - Pedigree | 4.50 | | I liked the pub but the beer selection was predictable and the quality poor. The staff were very friendly and I thought it would be a good place to drink Strongbow in (no, I really do like Strongbow). This stuff was watery, brown, tasteless nonsense with a few floaters. |

Only a few people in but it still felt quite busy, probably due to the cramped nature of the interior. I liked the cauldron on the fire place.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greene King - Ruddles County | 4.30 | | Cloying malt and overt alcohol with a bit of apple taste |
| Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | Not Tried |

Corner pub near the river (a Greene King house), opposite both the Bell Hotel (Courage Directors) and the Crispin Inn (Adnams Bitter and Broadside). Smallish bar at rear of main room. White walls and exposed wooden beams. Wooden furniture. It was a late Saturday afternoon with some locals at the bar and the odd tourist couple.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greene King - Ruddles County | 4.30 | | Deep brown with thin disappearing white head. Apple, caramel and some yeast aroma. Bit tart in mouth with apple blossom perfumed apple fruit finish. Not how I remember it in the dim and distant days of my youth. |
