Another of those pubs that advertises opening hours and can’t be arsed to stick to them or tell people when they change. I can accept things like WhatPub, Google and Facebook aren’t reliable but the sign in the window has a little bit more credibility but no, it says Saturdays open at 1pm we were there at 2 and 3 and it was firmly closed. All the other sources give various times. A bloody GBG listed pub as well. Scroats.

Personally I quite liked this pub despite the reservation of some of the others on the crawl, but then again I still have and play loads of vinyl at home. I also had a pint of the Oakham Citra which was in great nick. I'll call in this one again as well.

Student rock/alt pub. Hundred’s of LPs available which the staff will put on at the customer’s request – I got the Manic’s Gold Against the Soul loudly in its entirety. Also The Young Ones was being shown with subtitles on a drop-down screen and there was a small stage for live music. Hairy barman who was dead friendly and treated chatting to customers as part of his day job. Five cask, I went for Farm Yard Hoof Stout which was in great shape (NBSS 4). I rather liked this one, it was at odds with a lot of the others pubs done that day. GBG ’22 listed.
