I don't often get to the re-opening of a pub:however today this pub has re-opened after a long period of dereliction and major refurbishments. The bar is now opposite the door, but it was so packed we couldn't really have a good look round.

|---|---|---|---|
| Black Sheep - Riggwelter | 5.90 | | A good mid brown dryish strong'un, not often seen on my travels. |
| Black Sheep - Best Bitter | 3.80 | | On good form if undemanding. |
