The second port of call for Jane, Alison and myself. It was more or less empty. We got our pints and sat at one of the large round tables under the window. I even bought chilli peanuts to eat on the way home.

Butcombe - Blonde5.00AcceptableNot as good as earlier in the week as it was a bit less lively and fresh but nothing wrong with it and quite drinkable.

Here for old times sake really. There was an ever passing crowd or people drifting though. The 60's music on the stereo was quite good and I sat and wrote postcards on my own whilst knocking back a couple of pints of Blond.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Butcombe - Blonde5.00GoodThis was very drinkable. Light and frothy with hints of grapefruit and orange.

Late afternoon and it was fairly quite. There are two main drinking areas which were nicely laid out.
