17:00 visit. I note here that I've not been in since 20th July. Amazing how time flies!! Three, non GK ales on too, although, I suspect, the Druids Arms Best Bitter 3.9%, which is new to me, is brewed by you know who?? (And the toilets are still, pretty rank???)..Shame. Nice pub.

In Earl Street, entering through the front door there is a room at the front with the bar to the right serving 6 handpumps then a couple of rooms off to the left and at the back. Interesting lights about the bar. Popular with musicians and bikers. Was a Hogshead for a while before reverting to its original name.
