Our first visit after a change of ownership.Gently updated.The Farmers Brewing Co seems to be a sub brand of Haworth Steam. We sat by the wood stove, and wondered about the antics of a man waiting by the Red Telephone box outside. Good chat with the new Guv.Covid19 regulations in force:met at door by staff member,table service.
