Mid afternoon, quiet, except for the bartender who was rather loud and course. Surprised to see two mainstream ales on.

Ah the Parkerville. Sat in the back and watched the Wales-Scotland rugby game. Excellent atmosphere.

Pig & Porter - Caravan (was 3.6%)3.40GoodExcellent condition. Had the initial smell and flavour of Gadd's No. 7 but with a much sweeter malt body. Very drinkable.

Friendly welcome and just a few folk in the front bar so we took over the empty back room and endured the unnecessary and loud music for our stay.
