After the chap in the Moor Tap said he'd be in the Swan With Two Necks on Sunday, we decided to give it ago.
The pub has been a little bit mixed for us: sometimes friendly, interesting staff and pleasant atmosphere, sometimes a bit cheerless. We always like the beer so we do try to make an effort to go there but it's never been on our list of "definitely" or "relaxing" to go to.
It was bloody chilly but when it was time to do the "shall we go somewhere?" musing, we decided wrapping up and getting some fresh air would be a good idea.
So we struck out. The snow had melted and not yet refrozen so it was a pleasant enough - and we took a bit of a diversion through streets that had undergone development since the last time we went that way.
As we arrived at the pub we were really quite surprised at the number of people. Nevertheless we found a couple of stools at the bar and had a cheery exchange with the barman.
We've never seen the pub this busy or with such a mix of people.
Good beers, excellent bar service and a lively atmosphere - it feels like the pub has found its feet.
