A few customers in the Vault and one gentleman drinking mild in the corridor. We went to sit in the parlour but the management were in the middle of hanging Christmas decorations so we made ourselves comfortable in the little snug at the back past the toilets. We were told that there were only nine pubs left selling cask Holts mild but we were not sure whether that was for the whole estate or just the local area.

1300hrs we decided to pop in here on the way to The Grapes. One other customer plus staff putting up Christmas decorations. The back bar is devoid of most of it's furniture due to a pool table installed which has since been withdrawn through lack of use.

One of my favourites on this crawl, we escaped the hubbub in the back room.

Superb, the public bar and corridors were busy so enjoyed our beers in the peace and tranquility of the rear room.

We chose to sit in the back bar which is situated down the corridor past Gentlemen's lavatories for no other reason than we had not drunk in that one before. This pub is always welcoming, and is one that I always visit when in the area.

Joseph Holt (see also Holt's) - Bitter4.00ExcellentA most refreshing and enjoyable pint of Holts Bitter, not everyon likes it, but it is always good in here.
Joseph Holt (see also Holt's) - Mild3.20Not TriedI had just had a very disappointing pint of Mild in one of the nearby Holts pubs and decided to stick to bitter for the rest of the day.
