Early evening, rammed around the bar area with several groups in situ so we occupied one of the many tables available. No tacky halloween stuff observed here. Final pub of today mirrored the unexciting beer range of the others.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Otter - Bitter | 3.60 | | A light and fruity beer with good hoppy bitterness. |

Sunday lunchtime, arrived at noon but there were already a dozen customers in (it opens at 11 every day now).
7 of us had a rather jolly time around the longer bar.

Despite Storm Bert I joined four other cyclists here for a lunchtime pint. Sat in the sunny front window near the bar. A good buzz in here of mostly drinkers and a good choice of ales.

Lunchtime cycle meet. Only 3 of us today. 5 or six others in. The pub has changed hands recently with a previous landlord and landlady taking it back on. Wet day but no log fire. It was nowhere near as cosy as our last visit. Reasonable prices - £4.40 for the Gadd’s.
