Quiet in and on the pavement. Still, that's no problem in this pub. The jukebox is good and the pub is just very laid back.

Wet out so busy in. Some kind of 90's street music was on the juke box but the general pub hubbub drowned most of it out.

There were a handful in this great pub meaning we got it more or less to ourselves.
