A quick pint after work. The pub is barely less crowded than it was on opening night. Furniture has been rearranged and looks better with tables perpendicular to, rather than parallel to, the bar. I no longer have the details of other beers available on this day.

This pub has been trailed for many months and finally opened at 5pm this-afternoon. I was here by 6, by which time it was already jam-packed. Destined, I feel, to be a very busy pub.

There is an extensive selection of 6 cask and 20 keg beers (although there are 22 keg taps) all dispensed from taps mounted on the copper bar back. All cask and keg beers are listed with name, abv and price on a blackboard above the bar back. The cellar and storage is in a structure in an adjoining arch.
