Evening visit until 10.30 pm close. My first visit for many a year and remember it well when run 40 years ago as the Duke of Edinburgh by an elderly couple who chalked the bar bill calculations on a cast iron pillar (the pillar is proudly still there) and used glasses "to die for". All changed now of course being a friendly entrepreneurial establishment.
