Fairly typical 'Spoons in that they were displaying pump clips for beers that weren't on. Service was slow. Food was good (lasagne). Very central pub not far from the Head of Steam.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Big Lamp - XXV | 4.20 | | Lots of dry malt, some subtle hop, but this beer is all about the malts. |
| Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | Not Tried |
