Another gem, this time uncovered by our cycling correspondent. A free house, under new management, this pub offers 4 real ales, three brewed in-house. We all sampled Shottle Gold - a light ale with a refreshing hoppy flavour (as they say in Camra). The bar staff couldn't have been more helpful and there was the Snug - a haven away from the kids in the carvery side - to enjoy your pint in. Open fires provided that certain woodsmoke ambience which complements a good ale. The pièce-de-résistance was that Thursday night is quiz night and. for a £1 entry fee, you get platefuls of freshly-prepared food to sustain you. Excellent! (We came third, by the way, only beaten by a team of regulars and a cabal of women with mobile phones, allegedly)
