Lunchtime visit. Both bars busy, I sat in the Public Bar and listened to vinyl. I think this is the first time that I have seen Harvey's keg on sale, I did not try it.

Late afternoon. We had to move seats at 1830 as some tables were reserved. Roaring fire assisted by a member of staff burning 10 years worth of bank statements etc.

Although I have been here several times before, this was the first time that I have ventured in to the saloon bar, we sat by the fire and enjoyed some sandwiches along with our beers.
