Afternoon visit, we sat at the rear of the bar because of a group of loud shouty people at the front. I have not listed all the beers available.

Mid afternoon and quieter than the nearby Ship so we decided to pop in here after a bracing walk to the lighthouse and back. Friendly welcome in this proper drinkers pub.

Evening visit and busy in the bar. The landlord appears to be very keen on his ales.

A busy Sunday afternoon with a good wet trade. As with other pubs in this area plastic tubs were being used for those who wished to drink outside with the seagulls and glass glasses for those of us who drank inside.

I had not been here for a long time, quite an emphasis on real ales now with Cask Marque labels on all the pump clips.

The Stade seems to have become quite a good are for pubs these days. If only the Oddfellows Arms was still in business this area would make a good pub crawl.

Early Wednesday afternoon, and gloriously sunny. Most of the customers were sitting outside enjoying the June sunshine which has been something of a rarity this year.
