Late-afternoon visit and the little front bar is busy to the point that it was difficult to get to the bar counter and I ended up stood rather awkwardly in the doorway. I didn’t hang around for long.

Very busy Saturday evening. The pub appeared to be a meeting place for people about to catch the Real Ale Train. I did not make a note of all the beers on offer.
