14:15 Lunch stop. Interesting Spoons. A beer garden, a car park and downstairs loos. Very busy. Good beer choice.

Naylor's - Chicade4.50AcceptablePumpclip advertises lots of hops. Reality is rather different.

Evening. A comparatively early closer this Spoon's. More "Available soon" beers than one could poke a stick at.
