Evening until 11pm close. Shocked to hear of Lynda's latest tribulations but delighted she is back on full form. Darts night in t'other bar.

Been on my to do list for a while and I'm not disappointed. Mid afternoon just after opening time and soon joined by a few others.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boss - Boss Buzz | 4.30 | | Honey ale with a hint of sherbert. Superb. |
| North Riding Brewery - Cascade Pale | 4.00 | | As a pale ale should be. Dry light and hoppy. |
| Glamorgan (formerly Kite) - Bluestone Bitter | 4.00 | | Biscuity and malty not to my taste |
| Three Friends - Two Face | 4.00 | | Described as floral citrus tones but more sweet and toffee. |

Evening. Usual locals' welcome. Landlady Lynda a tad indisposed after a replacement hip op. An extra handpump has been added in the saloon bar for draught cider.

15:00 On my way back from Skegness I decided to pay this pub a visit based on recommendations on this website. Second one in when I got there at opening time. Really welcoming. CAMRA discount offered without asking and my pint was changed as I sat there about to drink it because the Landlady wasn't happy with it. I mentioned Pubs and Beer and Philip Pirrip's name came up in conversation. This was the pub where the face was put to the name.
