Four beer pumps but only two beers available – luckily we had missed the Crondall Mitchell’s Dream.

The barmaid had all the attributes required by Mengo and was cheerful as well. This is a comfortable pub and the prices not as bad as FN feared – in fact the round was cheaper than the Nelson.

Chris was brown nosing his boss who was over from France for a quick conference before heading up to Scotland on holiday. The pub was busy with the punters in for the quiz night. The TT Landlord was near the end of the barrel but the landlord made the mistake of bringing round the last dregs for us to try. Not a wise move as it was sour.

Jes, the landlady has been running the pub for two years now and has firmly established the dress code for the bar staff – little boots and leggings are de rigueur. You know you are getting old when the landlady is young enough to be your daughter. We eschewed the Fuller’s in favour of the guest.

The barmaid was just about to close but unfortunately decided to stay open to serve us. No, that’s no really fair – although the Humdinger did not quite live up to its name, it wasn’t bad at all. Must have been on the outskirts of town as the barmaid was not displaying her attributes.
