An open fire is just the job on a sleety evening.
Greene King - Morland Old Golden Hen | 4.10 | | Acceptable but just too much of a hint of cider. A surprising £3.75. |

Harviestoun - Bitter & Twisted | 3.80 | Not Tried | |

Excellent service. But I noticed Fresh Legs
came up on the EPOS display as Abbott Reserve at a suitably inflated price. This was queried with the staff who said they have only one button for cask ale on the electronic till. If so why was I charged two different (high) prices? Took the edge off a pleasant visit with the the thought I've been inadvertently overcharged for some time. I asked the manager to phone me on return - no call - not impressed.
Greene King - Fresh Legs | 4.00 | | A typical Greene King offering but served in sparkling condition. |

The beer garden was obvious choice. A sun trap this evening.
Greene King - Mischief Maker | 6.00 | | I enjoyed this. A DDH IPA using only English hops from Charles Faram. Rich, hoppy and balanced with only a slight scorch from the alcohol. |
