Lots in. Smudges funeral next Friday afternoon. Quite a few foreign chaps in. Drinking fosters! Shocked and stunned.

Sad to see a picture of landlord smudge on the wall after his sudden death on Sunday. The pub is continuing to open. Only 2 beers on but 4 in the cellar waiting to come on later.

A small corner pub on a hill, West Cliff Road, not far from the town centre. It has a rather rambling interior with the main seating area raised above the bar floor and a basement seating area too. Glorious stained glass street windows. 6 handpumps on the bar counter enhanced to make 9 in 2022.
We have visited this pub 537 times, seen 423 different beers and tried 332 of them.
