Review from tantallon.org.uk:

Ruddles Best Bitter £1.80 Dry Blackthorn Cider £2.10 (25.v.1998) Absolutely deserted it was when we came here, and a pretty average Morland pub it is, even if it does have a "secret riverside garden" overlooking the Windrush. Fairly large room divided by a fireplace, and unusually all of the keg pumps set into a wooden megafont stretching along one side of the bar. On cask we had Ruddles Best and I think Morland Original was the other, but it was off and the pump clip was turned round. The barwoman sounded awfully like the woman from Falkirk who runs The Consumers' Association and used to be in charge of Shelter and whose name, Owen Massey reminds me, is Sheila McKechnie. (25.v.1998)
