Jumbo pub a bit out of the centre over two large rooms and listed in the CAMRA Inventory. The main action was in the longer and narrower front bar with a larger and quieter side room also available, though this was clearly being used for spillover (still COVID table service at the time). Luckily we sat here and it’s the main place to see – highlights included a very intricate circular wood bar (with a tiled front) and gantry, as well as a number of semi-booth seating areas with various bits of carved wood fittings and backs. Plenty of ephemera as well, tin signs and the like plus a bicycle suspended from the ceiling. Usual Diageo list so another Guinness which was a bit thin and very cold; after a while in Norn I started to appreciate the differences in quality I had hitherto dismissed as Oirish tourist waffle. Worth a visit to sample the interior, I think.
