Another Sunday lunch with my elders and betters. There has been a boot fair in the pub’s field and with the weather a bit too cool for use of the garden this makes the pub interior a little too crowded for comfort today.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Long Man - American Pale Ale | 4.80 | | I enjoyed this with my oversized portion of pork ribs. |
| Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Eagle (formerly Wells & Young's, formerly Charles Wells, formerly Wells) - Courage Best Bitter (use Marston's entry now please) | 4.00 | Not Tried | |

Nice family lunch, but I have noticed a steady dumbing-down of the beer choice in here.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

Pre-Christmas lunchtime visit with my parents. Very busy again here. We thoroughly enjoyed the food and the atmosphere and reminiscing about Christmases past. Around five cask beers were available.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| St Austell - Jolly Holly | 4.30 | | A decent enough, dark Bitter. Hops struggling to make an impact in this pint. |

I brought my parents here for lunch to celebrate their 58th wedding anniversary. The pub was very busy indeed – the new norm according to the landlady who told me that Sunday meal trade had really picked up in the last few months. There was a fourth cask beer on, but I forget which.
