Cottage - Scrum Up4.00AcceptableI was rather bounced into this one when my first choice was ‘unavailable’. A malty, brown Bitter of little distinction.

Big Penny (formerly Truman's) as of late 2022 contract brewed - Blindside4.40Not TriedApparently ‘just run out’, although the clip was still showing when I left 30 minutes later.

Very busy at around 8:00pm, with the crowds spilling out onto the pavement and into the drizzle. Quite loud music.
BeerABVScoreNotes
St Austell - Tribute4.20GoodA golden beer, with a soft, orangey, fruity hop taste and no bitterness. Much fruitier than I have tasted this beer before.

There is a single room, ground floor bar, with a second room upstairs. Historically a Watney’s pub, it is now badged by the Spirit Group as one of their ‘Taylor Walker’ pubs.
