We chose the old Lady Margaret 'saloon bar' which had recently been vacated by its Thai tenants. Surely they had made a good attempt to turn round a declining pub into half pub/half resataurant as is the fashion in many other parts of the country but it was history - they had scarpered according to the friendly local in the toilet. Some of the restaurant furnishings were still in place but a noisy jukebox , pool table and assorted furniture had been added. The Irish landlord made a 30 second appearance to acknowledge our presence and ask if we wanted the music turn down - if only the other locals were as friendly but wait there was Bombardier at the incredible low price of £1.80 a pint and it was good . By our second drink we were warming to the place but FB had a rendezvous at the second Wheatsheaf and we made a hasty exit.
