Mid saturday afternoon, very pleasant sat in the garden in the sun. Which is a relief really as this pub can be smokey. Having said that, it normally has 4 beers on which are usually served well including a regular from Hopdaemon

Hopdaemon - Incubus4.00AcceptablePity this wasn't better because at its best it is a cracking pint. This had a bit of sweetish fruit, but the head disappeared quickly and it was very thin and lacked its normal good finish
