Deserted when I arrived mid Saturday afternoon. Hopefully gets busier in the evenings.

Well this was excellent. Great range of beers. The opaque light from the clear sections of the sparsly stained glass windows failed to penetrate deeply into the resesses of victorian splender. ...and to top it off the pub whippet sat on my lap. What a great pub
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Matthew's - Brassknocker | 3.80 | | Pale gold colour. Astringent with raw grapefruit elements and a fruity lime bitter finish |
| Butcombe - Bitter (or Original Beer) | 4.00 | | Pale amber with a mild sulphorous taste to it and a tart bitter finish |
| Cotleigh - Osprey | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Cottage - Champflower Ale | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| St Austell - Tribute | 4.20 | Not Tried | Tony had this and said it was excellent with a rich honey taste to it |
