Ah - the long, thin Fox. Late lunchtime - day 4 of my long cycle - 20 miles to Dorchester- would be rude not to stop and cool
off. Garden fullish but I sat in the small front room in the cool. Nice.

Back for lunch today after visiting the castle and taking a 4 mile walk. Sat in the garden - that is extremely long and peaceful. Good fish and chips. The local beer was sublime. Other 2 beers same as yesterday.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hattie Brown's - Moonlite | 3.80 | | It may have been the walk beforehand and the clean palate at noon but this was superb. Real depth of flavour and body for a 3.8 ale. |

Early evening - 3 bar flies in. Nice feel - unimproved over the last 30 plus years I would guess - although the prices have kept up to date - £4.50 a pint.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

No one in except the landlady and her staff. All the beers were on gravity behind the bar. Good pub.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Palmers - Dorset Gold | 4.50 | | Rich gold colour. Apply. Drinkable but probably on the turn |
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
