Late afternoon and buzzing with activity, outside area by the entrance standing room only so I sat in the cooler ambience of the air conditioned bar. Friendly welcoming place with a good range of beers on. Badly timed Sunday visit on day 3 of our bike tour as the place closes at 6pm. One beer on cask hand pull was an unexpected find so it had to be first. Easy second place slot for drinking venues so far here, Alibi still reigns at the top IMO.
