Report
Its quite cool and historic looking. There was a great support band, Rail Spikes. The main act, The Tlllers, was excellent. No permanent bar. But, a couple of local cask ales and a great selection of canned and bottled beverages. Well chilled where necessary. Wine to. And all served in glasses!
