I arrived just as the beer lines were being flushed through ready for a new ask of Hophead so I decided to wait for that. Prices in here seem to have risen to £2.10 per pint.

| Dark Star - Hophead was 3.8% (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.40 | | Quite bitter. I have heard that Asahi have transferred all production of Hophead back to Partridge Green, that information came to me from Sussex branches of Camra. |

Didn’t plan to go here as I was disappointed last time, but we were passing anyway so had a couple of swift halves - only charged 1.99 for the two. Nice staff - shame about the beer, didn’t finish them.

Lunchtime - sparsely occupied.
I picked this fairly randomly after a cycle to Ashford. Bit of a coincidence as ChrisE was here yesterday but hadn’t yet posted his report.
