They've stopped doing food, not that I could care less about that. The pib wad quiet but the bar maid's character made up for that.

A roasting day so the seats outside were full. But that left the seat by the Fremlins window with its view of the cathedral spires free.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Red Top | 3.80 | | There's something about Red top's sweet malty simplicity that I like. I like the simple idea of it as much as the beer itself. |
