Back for a Potterers cycle meet. Sandwich and the pub were both pleasantly busy - not crowded despite the Open golf underway nearby.
Very efficient table service.

With 10 mins before I had to meet Jane and Isabel I popped into the Red Cow. I can never really work this place out. It has a restaurant area, a pool table area and a bar that just has bar stools. Anyway, friendly with an interesting beer line up
| Banks's - Mild | 3.50 |  | I like Banks. I like their bitter. This mild was jolly good too. Hint of caramel, very low hopping and some watery body. Just want I want from a midland's mild. |
