Busy, with a lively atmosphere on the Saturday of Easter weekend. There are six hand pumps with Joules Pale, Blonde and Slumbering Monk, plus a chocolate stout badged with the pub's name. The Pale had just reached the end of the barrel, so I had a half of Blonde and Monk: the latter was a little warm and underwhelming (NBSS 2.5) and the Blonde was ok (NBSS 3, maybe 3.5). The Pale was soon back on (no water pulled through between barrels) so I had a half of that too (NBSS 3.5). I liked it here, though the beer is only just Good Beer Guide quality on my admittedly random sample.
