I had not been in here for a long time so I decided to pay a visit, just the one beer on today so I had a swift half and moved on.

Few in when we arrived but it soon started filling up with lunchtime feeders like ourselves. The meal was up to expectation with the customary friendly service. Sadly only one real ale on.
