Late visit after rehearsal. About 11pm and still very busy. The pub quiz is very popular and was just finishing. There was a fourth real ale (a Houston Brewing Company one) but I can't remember the name.

Extremely quiet. Local holiday fortnight. First night without football for a few days. Only three real ales on - a Young's one and a Leicestershire one (think it might have been Everards Beacon but didn't have pen and paper)

Sat outside cause it was so noisy indside. Very very busy and noisy for a thursday. Didn't have pena nd papoer but thee were two other southern english beers on who's names I can't remember

First time in here on aFriday for a few weeks. Usual scene except there are lots of flags up for the world cup and there is a really good new house ale.

Noticeably different crowd in tonight. Two other beers on, one of which I tried but didn't recognise and can't recall name. Friends would not permit me to buy drinks so never got near the bar to have a good look.

Quite busy for a Tuesday. Was going to take a picture of the sign but there were too many smokers hanging around the back door. A couple more drinks with my walking partners. There were two more beers on - one I didn't recognise but which was quite tasty (didn't have my book to write it down) and another one I just can't remember.

Aaargh, forgot my camera again. There was fourth beer on which was from Abbey Ales but it went off before I got chance to closely inspect the label and see which one.

Great music again as Ewan MacFarlane was playing. There was a fourth beer on but I can't remember what it was - an English brewery I didn't recognise.

Happy yet very sad evening cause two very dear friends are leaving for New Zealand. Funnily enough I met them here about two years ago. Can feel some very expensive holidays coming on. BTW delivered on their promise to have Carronade on specially for the occasion. Who could ask more of their local. In addition to those listed there was another beer on (Broughton I think) which I did not recognise and consequently can't remember.

First smoke free Friday. Very busy with lots of teachers celebrating the end of term. Promise of Carronade next Friday. Can't wait. There was a Houston beer on I didn't try and I can't remember the name.
