I attended a private function in an upstairs bar. Two cask beers available here, no doubt considerably more in the main bar downstairs. Splendid hospitality.

Evening. The pubs offers 5 one-third pints of craft fizz for £10 and I obviously did not participate but noticed existing real ale brands from Fuller's, Harviestoun, Ilkley, Inveralmond, RedWillow and Waun all on sale here on fizz too. Serious brand dilution!

17:30 Came here specifically to use up CAMRA vouchers. Busy on the canalside patio less so inside. Not a pub I really like. Most people seemed to be drinking anything but cask ale and the shouty rap music was intrusive.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Castle Rock - Preservation Fine Ale | 4.40 | | Too warm. All three pints in our round were. |
| Black Iris - Black IPA | 6.50 | | Far too sweet for a black IPA. |

Evening. Fairly time critical so gave up waiting whilst food orders being placed - inadequate staffing. I'd make it pubs for beer, caffs for food!

Evening. Very quiet end of Bank Holiday here. Always find the pub lacking intimacy and warmth - too much of a corporate feel. The pub's smart menu folder "Discover World Beers" has a glossary entry for "Craft Brewer" defined as "A term referring to breweries opened since the late 1970s that produce speciality beers."
