50% off a meal, which was finishing today, was too tempting to miss, so we came with friends and had another enjoyable meal. Fairly busy.

Marston's - Wychwood Hobgoblin IPA (was Ruby Beer, was Hobgoblin)4.50GoodBeing forewarned from our last visit, when the ale was too cold, we allowed this to warm up before we imbibed.
