Late evening visit to see progress here since first opening. Kitchen has been added as has a quite impressive patio garden down a sort of fire escape ladder. Friendly informative barman.

First visit here, in late evening. Seems that real ales not catching on too quickly in this new venue. Surprisingly close (150m) to the nearby Antic pub Westow House.
