Garniche at the Puesdown, Cheltenham

A jack-of-all-trades on the A40 a fair few miles out of Cheltenham that is bar, restaurant, shop and hotel. Cosy enough inside, two out of three handpumps offered Hook Norton's Hooky Bitter and Old Hooky. Unfortunately, the former was undrinkable but was efficiently replaced with the latter with profuse apologies. Some stool seating at the bar and a couple of sofas adjacent to the restaurant mean drinking peeps aren't frowned upon, but it's a curious hodgepodge and only really worth the stop-off for the "tick".
