Pub open especially at noon today for my cycle group; “bus pass” group also invited - despite no nearby suitable bus service. Worst day of weather for weeks so I was apprehensive that it would be a low turnout. Both groups turned up in good numbers, and with a couple of locals we had a pub full of 20+ people. Very lIvely session.
The pub’s annual beer festival starts tomorrow with 1pm opening for three days (Friday, Saturday and Sunday).
Long Man - Best Bitter | 4.00 | | |
Kent - Simply the Best | 3.80 | | Tina Turner tribute ale. Good stuff. |
