Mid-afternoon visit, with just a handful of customers present. A nice pub, but alarmingly expensive.

Despite asking for a half and getting a pint. Despite how full of diacetyl the beer was. Despite the racket caused by the roadworks outside. I still quite liked this place. Two roomed small wood heavy pub.

Quiet on a Saturday lunchtime.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Two Bridges - Midnight Swan4.40AcceptableVery bitter burnt toast taste with an underlying orange citrus hop taste. Brewed as a mild, anything but by taste. My score 14/20.
