comments -
Alan says that Hobsons is also
available. Mary (the Licensee)
has 6 hand pumps: 2 have Batham's Bitter and Hobson's Bitter as regulars
and the other 4 take the ever-changing guest ales. These usually include a
mild, another 'cooking' and 2 special ales (or stronger). The quality of
the Bathams and Hobsons both merit (I think) stars. |
