Early evening very quiet just a few others dotted about. Friendly warm cosy and welcoming made for a relaxed stay to dry off before battling again with the storm raging outside. After ordering my pint I noticed 5 beers on handpump so have duly listed them.

Late afternoon fairly quiet. Friendly welcome in this rather over rated, trendy and expensive bar yet I found the atmosphere peaceful pleasant and relaxing.
