Sixth visit of my tour and our group of three met up with some of the others on the CAMRA London Pubs Group's outing to Windsor and Eaton and at this pleasant micropub located just 5 minutes from Windsor & Eaton Central station. Prompt, friendly service for our early evening visit and seating to be had in the form of high stools positioned at high tables. Just two cask on as this family-run micropub specialises in mostly craft beer. Its sister micropub is in Maidenhead and opened in June 2022 while this Windsor one opened in August 2019.

Stardust - English Bitter4.00ExcellentThis traditional bitter came from just outside Windsor going west some six miles and at White Waltham and I cannot recall trying their ales before. Came with good head and lacing which lasted. A very bitter first hit. A dry malty mouthfeel with a hint of caramel and a superb and moreishly dry bitterness lingering.
