Stop 7 on my early Father’s Day treat. Late afternoon, pleasantly busy. I do love these sessions with my daughter.
6 ales on the board.

Lovely afternoon and 6 beers on and all at £3. Landlord wouldnt say why they were priced so low but we found out later that The Pub in the High Street is selling all beers at £3 this week as its been open a year. Nothing like a bit of competition.
