Whey Pat Tavern — Restaurant in Scotland

Poor start, as the barmaid didn't recognize the real ale I asked for. I was then asked if I was "by myself" (no explanation, but I read that it's seating only) and upon confirming that was allowed a drink.

Fair enough. Given my change, five pound note and the rest. The beer is slightly on the turn, bit flat (I won't name the brewer).
