Packed pubs too busy to interview staff have left Richard having to make some choices of his own, so he’s popped into a few fascinating watering holes that stand out on his daily walk into the city centre. Today he’s at a place whose name sounds as though it should have a fascinating history, but no one there knows it! What it does have is a great choice of real ales and a hearty food menu.
