Visited again last weekend. Three cask on at the time, including an interesting and enjoyable Coconut Stout by North Riding. This venue uses the Real Ale Finder app and the menu was up to date. Craft keg and ciders are also available.

Unchanged since my previous visit really. One minor criticism from me would be the "digital detox pub" poster that looks suspiciously like the one that Sam Smith pubs have up. I get the ethos of a micropub being a place for conversation but nobody likes being preached to. It didn't seem to be bothering one old chap who was on his phone anyway, so it's presumably not vigorously enforced.

Visited between Christmas and New Year. This is a micro pub but being double fronted affords it more space than your average micro. Four cask ales at the bar with lagers and spirits available too. Decent use is made of the space, with plenty of seating without feeling cramped like some micros can.

Music was playing at a nice volume at the time of my visit. There were a few punters in on my Sunday afternoon visit so there was a nice atnosphere.

There was a George Shaw ale on, a historical local brewery, but now exists only in name and this particular ale was brewed by Dunham though most of theirs seem to be brewed by 4Ts based on what I have seen previously.

I'd be very happy to go back to this one.
