First visit here since the Flying Scotsman days - I was expecting a trendy IKEA showroom conversion but was pleasantly surprised. Late lunchtime and fairly quiet.
| Sambrook's - Watneys Pale Ale | 4.20 | | Rather bland, lacking aroma with just a hint of dry hoppiness. |

According to What Pub this place should open at 12:00, a group of nine of us stood outside until approximately 12:15, gave up waiting for it to open and headed to the nearby Charles 1. There was somebody behind the counter who had spotted us waiting but did not even bother to acknowledge us.

Just before 11pm before my train. Tired atmosphere and bar staff.
Pint of “Scottish Stores Pale Ale” which was good. Didn’t note other beers on.
| Hammerton - N1 | 4.10 |  | Thick sludge - changed without fuss but really shouldn’t have made it to a customer. |

I had been told earlier in the day that this pub has a new manager who has no interest in real ale so I decided that rather than listen to rumour I would pop in and find out for myself. True it does have a new manager but a report that the place no longer offers Camra discount proved wrong. A good selection of ales and a selection of Available Soons that a certain well known pub company would have been proud of.
There was also a house beer named Scottish Stores Pale Ale at 4.2% but no indication of its true provenance.
| Belleville - Commonside Pale Ale | 5.00 | | |
| XT Brewing - Animal Brewing HopCat IPA | 3.90 | Not Tried | |
| XT Brewing - Squid Ink | 5.50 | Not Tried | |
