Christmas eve afternoon and very busy indeed, we stood by the fireplace and had a couple of pints whilst waiting for a bus. Service was speedy and friendly.

22:00 visit. Fair crowd in and the incredibly resilient moneymaking machine that is The Stones on the box? Had to meet the Three Wise Men in here due to the blasphemy "rule" next door! (Actually been here more times than p&b shows for one reason or another..)!

23:15 visit. With Butch, Snip and the Poacher in tow, we came here, virtually next door to the RV, for a late one, or two! Still a good crowd in.
