No cask, a single hand pump was unclipped. Keg offering of Guinness, Moretti, Shipyard Pale Ale, Thatchers Gold, Cruz, Neck Oil, Banks Amber bitter and Wainwrights Gold.

I shaped venue with the bar counter providing service on two sides dominating the centre of the floor space. Carpeted and round the far side from the entrance it is regular tables and chairs occupied by diners on my early evening visit. A bare boarded area over in the far side of this far side of the bar counter was occupied also by regular tables and chairs laid for diners but not in play on my visit - suspect the venue is much busier at the weekend. The side of the venue near the entrance was carpeted and was much more bar and occupied by drinkers on my visit. Banquettes around the external wall supporting regular tables and chairs the other side thereof. The bar area supported a dart board, a TV not switched on during my visit, entertainment via a 60's pop soundtrack. Internal walls original stone and there was an interesting fire grate not lit on my visit. Some outside seating at the rear, grassed and regular picnic tables, as you would expect in this neck of the woods. Pretty disappointed to not see a cask offering, even if it was another double Wye Valley offer!
