A foggy Saturday lunchtime.Several groups of drinkers and diners,including some outside, but the landlady said that there had been many cancelations due to Omicron. A welcome pit stop on a longish walk.

Full of drinkers,diners and their dogs on an unseasonably mild November Saturday afternoon.A chap was sat at the bar with a bottle of Courage Light Ale-Light and Bitter? The sign of a proper pub.
