Having found this pub and tried it on 5 occasions, I was alarmed to witness that there was not a single pint in the house that had any sort of head. Every pint was flat and lifeless except the lagers. The landlord was not helpful and refused to give a taster. Each occasion I tried 2 different beers and could never manage to finish a pint. Unless I have been very unlucky...give it a miss.
