Second visit for a 20 minute wait for the train back to St.P, this time much busier with folk spilling out of the pub and occupying the many tables outside on a thankfully dry and mild evening.

Lunchtime just a couple of others in this friendly and welcoming micropub starting off today's pub 'tour'. Landlady provided much appreciated local knowledge of 'ones to avoid' on our list today.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| King's Cliffe (KCB) - B5 | 4.60 | | A grainy hazy acetic fare |

Mid evening train change visit. Very hospitable and humorous bunch of looals in this tiny venue.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Potbelly - Pigs Do Fly! | 4.40 | | Pretty lacklustre lacking much condition, a fault of jacket cooled gravity casks in many cases |
| Gun Dog - Scrum Dog | 4.00 | | Ugh being near vinegar. After Guv tasting replaced and taken off sale |
| Magpie - Six for Gold | 4.40 | Not Tried |

I have been meaning to come here for some time and as I was on a train that stopped at Wellingborough I decided to alight here and wait for the next one. A good micropub style atmosphere although some spirits are available and they have one of those Instant Guinness machines. I found out after my second pint that they do Camra discount in here. A good pub, I liked it.
