Intending to pay a visit only to find it closed with renovation work in progress. Looks like the whole pub is being gutted, pity as I'll miss the sticky carpets and flies!

A stop for lunch, the front bar was full and the restaurant looked very busy, so we opted for the public bar at the rear and enjoyed some beers and a light lunch.

A long overdue visit to this splendid pub. We were informed that the pub's brewery is no longer in use.
I have only listed the beer that I drank, others as already listed by Magnus.

Lunchtime and I’m pleased to find the front bar open (it was closed on my previous visit). I’m soon engaged in conversation by some locals, covering such matters as coastal footpaths, the breeding cycle of the Herring Gull and the hunting technique of the Kestrel.
