Lets try the Rake next week- from Nigels description of it the space issue sounds like a non-issue as there is a large covered space outside, and we all seem to be allergic to being inside.
Personally I smoke like a chimney so am usually to be found outside anyway.
We can always go back to the Roebuck if the Rake fails our "do we feel at home here" criteria.
I for one am looking forward to seeing what the outside area is like when they have finished the current works- if they are sensible it will be a nice place to lock up and so forth, with plenty of elbow room.
