This pub is utterly transformed (for the better) since my last visit around 15 years ago. It is the Gwydir Street Party today and this pub is rammed, with a beer festival in progress and live music in the street outside. Around 15 beers to chose from, from £3 a pint.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lord Conrad's - Slap ‘n’ Tickle | 4.30 | | A well-balanced, golden ale. |
| Buntingford - Hedgehog | 4.30 | | Black and quite roasty. |
