Pub number 4. A large central bar with 4 hand-pulls but only badged up. Recently taken over by the landlord of the Deal Hoy.

Late afternoon visit. Busy with followers of football peering at the telly. Service attentive and prices reasonable

Very busy Saturday evening with many screeching young girls clad in tiny hotpants! I would like to return on a weekday lunchtime where I can imagine the atmosphere to be somewhat more serene.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skinner's (now brewed by Goodh) - Betty Stogs Bitter | 4.00 | | Fruity, wholesome and very drinkable. I only had an hour before my last train home and had to sample 3 pints just to make sure. |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried |
