Noon on a Sunday - the place was heaving due to a classic car event and sunny weather. Queue out the door for the pub. I’d arranged a cycle meet not knowing how busy it might be. We took advantage of the “buy 4 get one free” offer.

Mid afternoon - I’ve been to the ice cream parlour and café before but my first time since the Pub has opened.
I was surprised at the size and the sophistication (I was rather expecting a bit of a shed to be honest).
Half a dozen other customers in. Looks to be the real thing. Only drawback was the price of a pint at £5.90 but there was an offer of « buy 4 get 1 free » that I, unfortunately couldn’t take advantage of by myself.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Northdown - Pale Ale Mary | 4.00 | | A bland brew in my opinion and rather lifeless. |
| Timothy Taylor - Landlord | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
| Wantsum - More's Head (previously 3.4% & 3.5%) | 3.70 | Not Tried | Possessive apostrophes in favour here. |
