Afternoon. Large enough venue to swallow our group whole.

Quiet until our group arrived. The food menu looked interesting but unfortunately I was told that the kitchen had closed at 2.30pm, and it was now 2.45. A very good pub that I would not have expected to sell a range of cask ales.

14:40 The larger members of our party avoided the sofas. Doubts about ever getting up again were raised.
