Beer- 2 normal draught beers and 3 guests

I had Butcombe- Traditional because i think it is funny and it was dark, sweet and fruity.
Thwaites- Wainrites was light and fruity- wasy drinking and not much flavour.

Not an expensive pub 8/10

Music- a reggae version of I've got you babe. Not good. Originally no music on at the time. Then annoying crooning music on for the rest. And the KT Tunstall and Simply Red

Simply offensive 1/10

Decor- Made of alot of different v old buildings. Modernly fitted out/ Some gamblors present. LOoks a bit chain pub but a nice big place. Good outside area, 5/10

Staff- nice. 6/10

Clientele- Busy. Lots of people eating. Different races and friendly faces. Think there are alot of tourists having a good time here. 7/10

A Shame 27/50
