1200 on a pleasant sunny day, fairly busy with a mix of all ages. We took advantage of the very good value lunchtime baguette and chips offer for less than a fiver! I plumped for the well filled chicken and stuffing option which puts many pubs to shame for similar but meagre offerings at over inflated prices.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Banks's - Sunbeam | 4.20 | | Similar fare to below |
| Hydes - Lowry | 4.50 | | Refreshing golden ale bursting with Citra and Chinook hops |

13 Jan 2017 (Philip Pirrip)
Mid evening visit and this month's venue for our Friday evening group. Amazing 18 handpumps of choice but many including me wondered if that was just too many for the level of business.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phipps NBC - Ratliffe's 'Celebrated' Stout | 4.30 | | First rate and selling lots |
| Phipps NBC - India Pale Ale | 4.30 | | Professional brew |
| Olde England (sub-brand of Julian Church) - 1251 : Bad King Wenceslas | 4.20 | | Poor brew served almost flat and lost any remaining condition within minutes. Not what one expected in a CAMRA local Pub of the Year |
| Hop Back - Summer Lightning | 5.00 | Not Tried | |

14:30 Last stop of the day. We sat in the panelled room. The pub was reasonably busy and we met the brother of the man with the memorial in the Market Inn.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Muirhouse - Simple Simons' Stout | 4.50 | | Very sweet, almost a milk stout. Wrongly badged as Close Brewery which appears to be a cask rental business. |
| Nobby's - Biggus Dickus | 4.20 | | |
| Potbelly - S.O.A.B. | 5.00 | | |
| Banks's - Ringwood Fortyniner | 4.90 | Not Tried | |
