Late evening abortive visit. One pumpclip turned round - barman says sells only one cask beer here at the moment and will not be available until next delivery. Turned tail for more fertile cask ale territory.

Early evening. A very pleasant pub with a slightly battered feel but some well-preserved features including a fine bar back. Plenty of people tucking into some good looking pizzas.
