Fairly busy on a late afternoon yet relaxed and chilled out atmosphere aided by the fact no music playing, just the quiet hush of subdued conversations.

A nice warm and welcoming pub, only my second visit here but both occasions have been good. Pumpkin,Lentil and bacon soup was the only concession to Halloween, I was tempted but did not have any.
