A cosy little cafe/bar/bistro, the sort of place you might ignore except they have 4 decent ales on (TT Boltmaker, Dissolution IPA, Tiny Rebel Baby Cakes and Bristol Set Free). This is topped off with extremely enthusiastic staff and a large tabled patio area to the back, although admittedly prices are at the top end for the area. I might have to come back to check.

I would have said this was a cafe, but after observing all the cakes I then noticed quite a decent display of pump clips, so perhaps it's a pub after all. There are four hand pumps on the bar - again, not many cafes have this - with Boltmaker and Jaipur balanced with two unknown beers from less well known but local-ish breweries. I took my half of Nomadic Ernest (not as interesting as I had hoped, but in good condition) and sat down. Whereupon I was suddenly in a cafe again. Maybe it becomes more publike in the evening - at the time of my 3pm visit it definitely didn't feel much like a pub. (As I was leaving I saw a man in a Six Poor Folk T-shirt who turned out to be the owner, so I asked him why the O in Folk was the Scandinavian Ø. Apparently the business occupying these premises before he set up his pub/cafe had a Scandinavian theme, so he decided to retain it.)

Quite like this - almost a micro pub but in a very pubby building - thats a C15th Almhouse. GBG 2020 edition.

I had a Jaipur at the start of my week in Yorkshire which was bogging. This place showed what a great pint it can be.
