Mid evening visit. Nice dark wood panelled single roomer. The garden is high fenced off from the wedge end of the road junction.

Mid afternoon visit. Business ticking over. Staff adorning the ceiling with patriotic home country flags for forthcoming football. Tempted to have a bottle of the year dated Vintage Ale but was far tooooooo early in the day.

Afternoon visit just after the kitchen shut down so I was able to read the food menu without being tempted to make a purchase, but I will remember that fish and chips is almost half price on Wednesdays.
