31 Jan 2020 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until 10pm close. Surprise visit at last knockings by a group of young people on a golf themed crawl with a mandated drink style in each pub, here it was pale ale which several of the girls did not appreciate but downed them nevertheless. Interesting rule that none was allowed to carry a mobile phone for the evening, except the leader and that for emergencies only too.
