Late afternoon visit. Busy with followers of football peering at the telly. Service attentive and prices reasonable

Very busy Saturday evening with many screeching young girls clad in tiny hotpants! I would like to return on a weekday lunchtime where I can imagine the atmosphere to be somewhat more serene.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Skinner's - Betty Stogs Bitter4.00ExcellentFruity, wholesome and very drinkable. I only had an hour before my last train home and had to sample 3 pints just to make sure.
