First pub of the day. Gareth and I walked here from the station and met Ian after 15 mins as his train had been delayed. Handful in. Friendly as ever.

Northdown - He-Bru	4.80		Told it tasted like revelation. Not quite.

29 Dec 2018 (Philip Pirrip)

Evening and lights off and closed at 8.55pm. Not sure if early close or closed all day. The Hovelling Boat had earlier quite spuriously said they heard it would be open until 11pm - NEVER!.
