Evening visit and busy. Very welcoming staff who gave me a sample of a canned Hop Stuff beer to try. I was informed that Black Iris Snake Eyes will come on once the Dark Star Partridge has gone.

I had almost given up on seeing cask in here again as it had not been available on a number of recent visits. A busy Friday evening and the cask was selling well.

A very hot Sunday afternoon, the air handling system in here was working perfectly and it was a pleasure to sit in here and talk to knowledgeable bar staff about beer.
