Read moreso I have returned after a few weeks break, beer as always deserves the 5 stars, especially liked the stout. this time a great ambience, no loud music to kill the ability to hold a conversation, and in hindsight my one star was rather harsh last time, so have amended my review to reflect the better experience I had this week. ..................................................................................................................
Great ales, just suffering from too loud music, left so we could hold a conversation, this was 5 stars , now the place is dreadful, won't be going...
