First time for a long while.We sat in the echoey Nissan Hut adjoining the bar area, but couldn’t hear our selves think. Additionally, the eating vans packed up at eight.

Not long after 15.00 opening we were the first customers with a few more rolling in during our stay. Friendly and informative barman updated us on the latest proceedings.

Mid afternoon busier than expected with a group of young chaps enjoying a few beers and a band practising in the vacant brewing area next door hence made for a rather noisy atmosphere.

The day the brew kit left.Sad, but I subsequently glimpsed it unloaded at its new home, awaiting rebirth.

My first visit here and I was impressed, great location by the railway and well laid out outside seating with a spacious and comfy looking yet out of use at the moment bar area.

| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Red Top | 3.80 | | Easily the best pint I've had of this, in fact I waxed lyrical far too long over it. Not the usual expected sulphurous experience but smooth creamy with a bitter kick. |

We found a nice sunny spot sheltered from the cold wind and enjoyed a couple of pints each. Fortunately I now have a new 'phone that incorporates a torch, this proved essential when visiting the facilities as there was a power failure at the time of my visit.
