An absolutely cracking little micro, so good that I could not read any of my notes after "one room...". I believe that I had a very nice and rather potent stout from the half dozen cask ales and 8 or so kegs. I do remember a lively buzz of conversation and a friendly barman. Definitely worth finding.

We managed to walk past this one as we hadn't realised it was up a side street at the end of a row of single storred shops. It has a neon sign outside that says "Sorry We're Open". To be honest it looks like a shed from the outside. Inside is rather more comfortable with an eclectic mix of tables and chairs. The walls are covered in a plethora of pictures, posters and general tat. Friendly barman was on hand to assist Ms CAMRA with her choice from the 6 handpumps, 5 of which I hadn't had before. Both our beers were in very good nick. They sell a large selection of rocket fuel in cans. A couple we got talking to said that they come into toon once a month to stock up on the cans. They spent about £90 on take outs having had a couple of beers in the pub. We both liked it in here and will most likely call in again next time we're here.
