Thursday evening in this superb and very popular pub, even busier than usual tonight as there was a large group of SPBW members present for the unveiling of a plaque in memory of the late Bill English. In spite of being very busy service was almost immediate. Only once did I have to ask for a top up and this was given with good grace.
