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.

Pre-emptive pre world cup visit on a hot and airless Saturday.We sat in the shady garden out back.Always made very welcome here. We left as the National Anthems struck up.

The pub was in turmoil hunting a missing mobile phone.Busy with diners and folk watching the rugby on a sunny February Saturday afternoon.I don't often find myself in a Shep's pub nowadays, but we enjoyed it.
