Around 2 hours later than planned owing to missed connections and delyed trains we headed straight to here. Quiet for a mid Friday afternoon with just 3 others in we opted for the snug and were soon joined by many others.

A much needed pint after a horrendous rail journey from Carlisle. It is nice to see this place open again although much quiter than I rember it.

Evening visit thanks to Mr P's recommendation. It didn't disappoint - not all ales noted - too dark - one was a World's End brew. I was told later this pub is nicknamed "the coffin". It is higher than it is wide.

Early afternoon and very welcoming. Elvis was being played on the vintage record player (a Dynatron Cavalcade)so I stayed for a second pint.

Late-ish evening visit, with the crowds thinning out a bit.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Redscar - Poison4.00GoodA very dark ruby red mild. Smooth. Caramel. Not the sort of thing I usually much care for, but this is really good for its style.

This is actually the first time I have ever been here – no surprise to find that I like the place. Quiet in mid-afternoon.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Yorkshire Dales - Carperby Calypso3.80ExcellentA very pale beer with a strong, bittersweet, hop taste.
Wylam - Gold Tankard4.00AcceptableGolden in colour. Plenty of hops, but dominated by a ‘cereal’ taste that personally I don’t like.
