Bob visited on a Saturday afternoon in November 2008. It was a Rugby International match day, so this review is unlikely to reflect the reality of the rest of the time.
All beers were £3.50/pint. Before the match there was Greene King IPA on, but this had run out after the match. The Guinness was fine. They also ran out of most of their lagers, and were reduced to only Fosters at the end. Out back they had a heated area and a bit of car park where burgers and hot dogs were being sold for £3.50. In fact all of the sofas which I suspect are normally indoors were out there too. They have several plasma screens. If nothing else, it made a change from the Cabbage Patch.
