Called in the middle of the evening with a couple of French colleagues. Fairly empty but it was a Tuesday. Clean feel to the pub which is already non-smoking. Friendly bar staff and although I didn't stop for the food I was told it was good.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Robinsons - Robin Bitter4.50GoodLovely clear dark brown pint. Consistant, lasting head and a smooth feel in the mouth. The flavours are either subtle or weak depending on your opinion. I really liked it, but stopped from being excellent by the lack of bite.
