Late Saturday evening and there was a good atmosphere in here, some locals, some tourists. Friendly barmaid.

Marston's - Young's London Original (was Bitter) - previously brewed in Bedford and at Wychwood then Banks's3.70ExcellentBest pint of this that I have had since the brewery moved to Charles Wells. Full and wide mouth feel, excellent grainyness and a good dose of bitterness on the end. Looks as though they have got it right at last.

Arived late in the evening but got a table at the back. I like this pub and the beers good too.
