Mid afternoon - a good number of customers, some eating. Not really a micro - two bar areas, one with booths, and a reasonable sized menu. Good feel to it - lots of memorabilia and pub clutter. I like it.

This great micro has no beer garden but fortunately the small engineering firm across the road has kindly allowed the pub to use some spare yard space as a beer garden and it works a treat, socially distanced benches, hand sanitizer station and chemical toilets and urinals all in place. Great 👍

| Mighty Oak - Captain Bob | 3.80 | | Loved this, such a refreshing change to have a beer with such a heavy malt character that’s balanced well with dry hop notes. In an age of over hoppy beers this was an excellent pint of proper bitter. |
| Silver Brewhouse (formerly Raw) - Independence American Pale Ale | 4.10 | | Wonderful zesty pint and well balanced unlike similar beers of this style. |
| Wensleydale - Black Dub Stout | 4.40 | | Very nice stout with hints of coffee |
