Mid afternoon. A dozen or so in.
Continues to have a small but varied choice of ales. Noted a 50p discount per pint on Tuesdays after 5 pm.

Nice pub this. Not many in but then it was a blustery wet day out. Bit of Blur on the stereo competing with some Michael Jackson coming out of the kitchen. Was offered a taster without asking too.

| Cotswold Spring - OSM (Old Sodbury Mild) | 3.90 | | This was badged a bit weirdly but I'm sure it's what it is. Anyway, nice chocolate bitter earthy beer that's very dark brown in colour. Very good. |

Jane and Isabel went to see a "Willy and Hugh" exhibition in the Library and at £4 an adult I passed. £3.20 on a pint seemed better value. Loverly pub. Lots of hops on the wall. Handfull of good natured locals in.

| Banks's - Young's London Original (was Bitter) - previously brewed in Bedford and at Wychwood | 3.70 | | Reasonable condition. Tight sparkler. Lots of caramel and hop resin. Probably could have done without the sparkler |

We sat at the back in the eating area as the pub was quite busy. Nice pub this. It once had a Fremlins board up at the back, but that was 20 years ago.

| Banks's - Young's London Original (was Bitter) - previously brewed in Bedford and at Wychwood | 3.70 | | Perfectly good but not much of the drying hop bite it can have. |
