No cask. Two handpumps were unclipped. Keg offering of Cruz, Moretti, Guinness, Neck Oil, Inch’s,
More basic roadside pub in Peterston-super-Ely. Front part of the pub is stone tiled with a U-shaped room with the bar counter following the shape of the venue with service on three sides. A few stools at the bar counter. The front side is v close to the entrance. The right-hand side is a small area with TV, pool table and dartboard. The left-hand side is larger with a floor to ceiling fire grate in the middle of the room but not obviously in use. Regular tables and chairs around the space. The rear to the left of the bar counter is a boarded area with another unused fire-grate and regular tables and chairs laid for diners. There was some seating out the front via old style picnic benches. Looks like there is regular entertainment from signage in the venue. There is a large beer garden out the back with more of the same picnic benches but looked a bit unkempt on my visit.
