The line up is still eight cask beers, with the first three on the right hand end of the counter, nearest the door, being the same as mentioned in Ray's review from July, so I assume these are regulars. (See photos for all eight.) I went for the two Goose Eye beers, which were a little cold but not excessively so. Both were around NBSS 3 or 3.5, though I find the Chinook hops a little harsh, and prefer the more balanced bitter, on the whole. Very good pub, easily reached by the 543 bus from the bus station, which stops almost outside. This would be a good venue for a stationary pub crawl in winter.
