I arrived 3 minutes before 17.00 opening the lights were on and the door unlocked as the barmaid was putting the final touches into place, friendly welcome and was soon joined by a couple of friends and by the time we left a couple of hours later it was standing room only.

Early evening until close (which incidentally is 20.00) less busy than expected thus plenty of space so we took over the window seats and enjoyed our beers before heading off for a curry. I neglected to find out the significance of the TFL route 28 bus blind adorning the wall.

An appalling day with heavy rain and strong winds, the railways were severely disrupted and my bus had to do a three point turn in a country lane when a tree came down and blocked the road so I was surprised to see the town's pubs busy. The King's Head on the seafront was rammed and noisy so I came here instead, the pub was absolutely full and had a great atmosphere. I returned for another pint later in the day.

Lunchtime visit from soon after 12:00 until the final bell at 2pm. A good crowd of people enjoying the friendly atmosphere here today. We returned in the evening to find that most of the lunchtime crowd were back as well as us.

Friday afternoon at a time when this pub would normally have been closed but, thankfully, Bronwyn had decided to stay open all afternoon, a good mixed crowd were making it worthwhile for her.
