My wife suggested I cycle here to try it out - bless her.
Lunchtime - a few eaters in the restaurant area. I chatted with a couple of locals and warmed myself by the log fire in the large bar area. Friendly locals and bar staff - who kindly charged my phone up.

|---|---|---|---|
| Cellar Head - A Winter's Pale | 3.90 | | Badge said “unfined and hazy” but this was clear and very tasty, especially considering the ABV. Lovely pint. |
| Cellar Head - Single Hop Pale | 4.60 | | Much more ordinary than the Winter Pale Ale. |

My first brief visit since the pub's reopening by the folk from The Milk House. Saturday lunchtime:a bit clinical.Friendly though. Trouble is, I remember this pub fondly from many years back.
