Busy with the majority of folk tucking into lunchtime meals, which gave the place more of a posh cafe atmosphere than a pub.

A very enjoyable visit, great staff, great beer and good food from a kitchen that was actually open on a Monday evening. We got chatting to a couple of local chaps on the adjacent table.

Cam was itching to get here to have a pint of Dark Drake. ...but it wasn't on! Big disappointment. The pub was heaving but we found a seat and Cam had a whole pork pie to cheer himself up.

13:30 Lunch stop. Busy, sat in the snug. Shame the screens have been cut down. The Landlady knows her beer.
