Just time for a swift half before my train to Wigan, and I found a choice of three individual hand pumps in a curve on the corner of the bar: Bowness Bay Fellwalker, and Moorhouse's Biscuit Barrel and White Witch. I went for the last named and found it good enough (NBSS 3), with the only disappointment being that it's not as good as Ossett White Rat, though my impression was that this was more likely because of the design or ingredients rather than the cellaring; further experience with this beer, which doesn't seem to appear to the east of the Pennines, might help me to decide. Not sure if that's sufficient motivation for a return to this pub, but only time will tell.

Newly refurbished after an ownership change, bringing lots of green paint and a little bit of opening up. Very surprisingly for me, the real ale selection has been slashed down to 2, this place always has a high turnover so no surprise that the quality of my Swan Blonde was sublime. Usually I‘m an advocate for “less is more“ but this seems a very conservative selection in this case. Otherwise, still seems like a solid professionally run village gastropub.

Flagstone floors, a snug, original leaded windows and beams. We parked ourselves up at the end of the bar area and perused the beers, which were Tetley's Original, Wainwright and Moorhouse's White Witch. I opted for the Moorhouse's, which was in excellent condition, the first pint didn't even touch the sides. The beer prices were excellent and the service was brilliant.
