I really enjoyed this one on the Portsmouth crawl,and will stay a lot longer next time .The only downside would seem to be the limited opening hours.

I visited few new pubs last month but having returned to the City Arms in Cardiff I'm going for that rather than a repeat. It was quite an unremarkable Brains pub in the past but now does a good range of proper guest ales and some ciders making it one of the best ale options in the city.
