Pleasant Pheasant mid week evening visit, fairly quiet as expected with a few, including us, dining. I haven't seen the full beer range or new ones on offer for a while now.

According to local publicity there should have been no buses between Willesborough and here today so when one turned up I decided to catch it and come here. Fairly busy as usual, exceptionally friendly bar staff made this a worthwhile visit. I took advantage of the £4.99 steak and chips again. I did not make a note of all the ales on sale but there was a fair selection from the Marstons range.

Early evening and busy as expected for a Saturday. Bar staff managed to keep up with the orders admirably.

Monday mid evening, very quiet around the bar area just a couple of tables occupied but busier around the pool table end with folk participating in the quiz night.

Early evening visit for a beer or 2 before we venture opposite for a curry. Fairly quiet and relaxed atmosphere with plenty of tables to choose from. Usual beers on offer seems to be the norm since recent refurb.

Early evening visit and quite busy. Bar staff were friendly and attentive. I thought the steak and chips was good value at £4.99 but managed to get it for a bargain £3.99. I did not make a list of all the beers on offer but there was a good selection from the Marston's range.
