I too prefer independent public houses, generally speaking, but have always found the staff to be pleasant enough, the toilets clean enough, and the ale of consistent quality, and reasonably priced enough ....Admittedly, I've never drank there of a weekend, but for coming back on the last train from Gloucester at least once a week, it isn't a bad establishment in my opinion...Arch Mattibaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15747470885167110547noreply@blogger.com
