Lunchtime fairly busy in the front bar a few groups arriving for food in the choice of the two separate dining areas. Greeted by a Dalek standing guard by the entrance sadly downgraded to solely refuse collection nowadays! I shall upload photos so watch this space..
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ramsbury - Farmer's Best | 3.60 | | Unexpected and instant 5*, wheat and caramel paired with a hoppy bitter bite. A snip @ £2.70 a pint for the thrifty minded! |
| Timothy Taylor - Landlord | 4.30 | | In top form |
| Shepherd Neame - Spitfire (or Spitfire Amber Ale) | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | Well the Dalek let it in... |
