The Contented Sole, Eyemouth

Narrow L shaped place on the dockside with low ceilings, exposed brick walls, chequered fabric banquettes and a bit of atmosphere. Food area to the rear. Looked like a keg-only offering at the basic light wood servery but tucked away in a wee corner hidden away was an unclipped handpump with a bit of handwritten cardboard on the shelf above advising it being the hyper-local Aye Been Blonde which was pretty nice, sweet soft and hoppy and also in very good nick (NBSS 4) so much so I sacked off trying to do all the other pubs in town in order to have another and sit outside and watch the world go by. It was alright in here, more pubby and cosy than the Ship.

Cosy pub on harbour front serving a mixture of locals and tourists. Two timbered rooms with a slight nautical theme but avoiding too much tat. One handpump is tucked in the corner of the bar, serving a palatable Aye PA from Aye Been.
