Came here for a decent pint after the Seven Stars, wasn’t disappointed. Amusing ‘A’ boards outside including “Nappies and politicians should be changed often - both for the same reason!”

Sunday afternoon, quite busy with lunches. The large table in the front window has been replace with three small tables. The open fire seems to be non-functional now. Pleasant ambience though.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Idaho 7 | 4.00 | | Served in a jug and a short measure - reluctantly topped up. A well rounded pale ale in good nick. |
| Exeter - Avocet Ale | 3.90 | | Rather flat and insipid. |
| Canterbury Ales (sometimes badged as Canterbrew) - The Wife of Bath's Ale | 3.90 | Not Tried |

Sunday lunchtime a few eaters in the far end - after a long wait at an empty bar I finally settled down in the comfy armchair with my pint for a quiet read - a family of seven came in shortly with other ideas. I drank up and departed.
