We’d managed to catch up with the
others at the Stork Hotel, who had managed to grab a table just underneath the
stained glassed domed ceiling in the lobby. It did feel as if we were hogging
the corridor for a while, as all of the smaller rooms were full and the bar
area was limited to standing and bar stools only. The layout was similar to
many other Victorian pubs in that there were several rooms in the outer walls,
and the bar was located in the middle with multiple ordering points. However,
this made it quite difficult for the one lady that was serving; who wasn’t expecting
a large crowd of visitors through her doors all seeking real ale. As we’d joined the others, there was only time
for a local beer which didn’t do the pub justice; I would have liked to have
tried a more familiar beer as well to compare its quality. But the clientele and
the pub’s exterior mosaic tiles have clearly stood the test of time.
