Mid to late evening visit and much less busier than when we checked in a couple of hours ago. Friendly welcome we arrived back after our visit to the Blue Boar and enjoyed a couple of beers to complement our meal.

Lunchtime fairly busy in the front bar a few groups arriving for food in the choice of the two separate dining areas. Greeted by a Dalek standing guard by the entrance sadly downgraded to solely refuse collection nowadays! I shall upload photos so watch this space..
