Crown & Thistle, Stanwix, Carlisle

Traditional side-street pub retaining two separate bars of different sizes. The larger lounge is comfortably furnished with bench seating along the walls and mostly small tables. Two real ales on handpump - Wainwright and Mosaic Gold from Laine Brewing (£3.60, but sat in the pipes too long?) - with Theakston Mild noted amongst the keg taps.
