Early evening a few chaps drinking at the bar but otherwise quiet. I ponder on how long the village can support both pubs? Hmmm...

Late afternoon friendly welcome and fairly quiet just one group in at the window table. My first visit, has been on my 'to do' list far too long and a nice surprise too, quaint unspolit interior yet to be IKEAised dare I say it..

|---|---|---|---|
| Timothy Taylor - Knowle Spring | 4.20 | | Instant 4* decision - light floral notes and a zesty hit made for a refreshing Citra style beer in superb condition. |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | This was up against stiff competition today |
