First stop in Ian and my tour of micropubs. Fairly busy but we got a seat by the door. Nice interior reminiscent of the Ale and Bakehouse in Westgate.

| Marston's - Wychwood Hobgoblin IPA (was Ruby Beer, was Hobgoblin) | 4.50 | | Not my sort of beer. Surprised to find it here rather than the enterprise inns pub opposite with the disappointing beer selection |

Early afternoon and a few local customers enjoying the pub. The landlord was away for the day and the pub was being looked after by relatives who were doing a good job.
