Evening visit aborted by the 2 handpumps having clips turned round and barperson having no idea when real ale would be available again.

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.

Evening visit until 1030pm close. Availed myself to drink from one of the pub's 10 sided lantern glasses, albeit modern repros of the style and with embossed weights and measures pint mark on the base. Last one out.

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.
