Pub was absolutely heaving, managed to squeeze in upstairs as a group left. Thoroughly convivial atmosphere.

| 4T's - Absolutely Plummed | 6.00 | | Coming to the end of the barrel I think, shame as I was excited for this. |

1330 visit all outside seating taken on a cloudy but muggy day so I sat inside. In spite of the modern interior the soft subtle lighting made for a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Great Heck - Treasure IPA | 4.80 | | Harshly hopped with similar bitterness combined with a smoky peaty aftertaste gave this a distinct complexity. |
