This used to be around the corner from where Tony lived so we popped in for old times sake. It had changed a bit. I don't think it's tied to Hop Back any more. Also, Red Stripe in tins seems popular.

According to Tony this was quite quiet for a Saturday night. Lots of people in including some loud ones. Left early to go and get fish-n-chips - can't beat a bit of fish-n-chips in my book

Got here at 12.30pm and there was only one other customer in and he looked like he'd been sitting there since the night before. The land lady surveyed us like we were from out of town, which I was but Tony only lives round the corner. Anyway, it's a great pub with a fantastic line up of Hopback beers
