19:05 I had intended to visit the re-opened Cauliflower at Ilford but once again the traffic thwarted me. I bailed out at Ilford and had a swifty here before getting the train back to Diss. Heaving.

My first visit here, service was good considering it was busy. I prefer my pubs a bit quieter...

Quiet enough by 9pm that I was able to get a table in the reclaimed gents’ toilets area.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| Brewster's - Brewer's Dozen | 5.50 | | Fresh-tasting amber. |
| Tring - Hazy Hoedown | 4.40 | | A cloudy amber colour. Wheat beer with hops and just a hint of sourness. |

15:55 Absolutely packed. Surprising how many people seemed to be settled in for a session rather than swift visits whilst killing time waiting for a train. Didn't record the beers on the ground floor bar.
