Mid evening another relaxed comfortable drinkers pub atmosphere bucking the trend in affluent areas to convert pubs to IKEA showrooms this survives.

16:00 Since my last visit here this pub has been recognised as a CAMRA Heritage Pub of Regional Importance. There has also been a change of Landlord and the lovely wooden bar counter has been painted Farrow & Ball matt green. Oh dear. It is frankly horrible. The rest of the pub is so far untouched and the bar counter stands out like a sore thumb. We had a problem with beer quality and the couple running the pub seemed to be more concerned with the speakers and the volume of the musak. Things do not look promising.

Rebellion - Blonde4.30GoodNot tried before. Not a bad blonde.
3 Brewers of St. Albans - Classic English Ale4.00UndrinkableI did not order this but two chums did and I was asked for a second opinion. Pure vinegar. Changing it for another pint was not done with good grace. New cask etc. It was noticeable that the clip was not turned round afterwards.
