Just after 11:00 on a Thursday morning, I was supposed to be meeting some friends in the nearby Cock Tavern but no-one had bothered to check their opening times and it was closed so I decided to have a look in here. It was my first visit to this pub and I was impressed with the speed of service and friendliness of the staff, I may well make a repeat visit.
