Definitely the largest micro I have visited. You enter the premises into a long narrow drinking area at the front and at the rear you will find a good sized bar and a further seating area, along with a small kitchen that produces artisan pizzas at weekends. All the beers were racked up on stillage, four ales on our visit, but the majority of their beers were craft keg, ten in all, plus the equivalent amount of ciders and perries. We went for the Bristol Beer Factory and Arbor Pocket Rocket, both were in good condition, but served too cold for me. I can only presume that the cask and craft beers are all served by the same temperate cooling system, which meant I had to sit there for several minutes, freezing my hands off trying to raise the temperature of the beer. At one point I also had to put my pint on the radiator behind me. So if the beer was on handpump and had better temps, I would have definitely scored higher, plus the beer choices were good and the owner was most welcoming.
