Like The Marine it was too busy. Hope this was an abberation not a taste of summer. And to cap it all Dunottar Wines and Spirits was 'closed due to illness'. Almost driven to a can of Carling - not quite though.

I really enjoyed this visit, the barman offered me a taste of each of the beers and I really felt welcome. Doggy treats were available for our canine friends.

Quiet. I'd heard from others that beer quality was suffering so thought I'd see for myself. It was.

Everards (see entries against Joule's & Robinsons whilst its new brewery was being built) - Tiger4.20PoorDon't know why they need to truck boring brown beer 350 miles but they do. Tastier beers are available much closer to home.
