Evening late. The balcony seating area has now opened although it was closed up this late at night - a sneak visit provided a great view of the gathered throng below.

What a nice pub. Lunchtime visit when it was surprisingly quiet, despite the shopping frenzy going on all around outside.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Hop Stuff - Oatmeal Stout4.80ExcellentAlmost black in colour. A full-bodied stout with English hop tastes (Goldings?) and a touch of sweetness from the oats.

Evening until close. Had been closed on Monday to seal the concrete floor - seems may now be left as is and not covered in wooden laminate.

Evening. 2nd day of opening and a civilised haven from the frenetic Halloween crowds in the square outside. Very friendly and knowledgeable bar staff, one of whom is a Hop Stuff brewer. Bare warehouse style concrete floor is to be covered with wood laminate over the next few weeks.
