Arrived at midday and there were already people in eating. By 1pm it was busy. The menu is massive and so are the portions. The staff were friendly and the beer line-up interesting. Good pub.

Called in mid afternoon to escape the scorching heat. Sat outside the front door and watched the passing car drivers watching us.

Midweek lunchtime session was very busy with virtually all the customers eating. As this pub is known more for its food than its beer I was surprised to find 5 real ales available and not just the usual suspects either. The ales were all listed on a chalk board next to the entrance, with their ABVs so you could choose before getting to the bar. I only had time to try 2 as the chauffeur was getting restless, but I shall certainly return soon to try some others.
