|---|---|---|---|
| Shepherd Neame - Spitfire (or Spitfire Amber Ale) | 4.20 | | |
| Marston's - Pedigree | 4.50 | | What has been done to this once fine beer? Almost tasteless. |

Mid Sunday evening - I think there were some in the restaurant but the bar was empty. Five staff idling around did not add to the ambience - nor did the two out of three pump clips turned round - although these did come on later after the pipes were cleaned (rinsed through?) for about 10 minutes.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brains - The Rev James Original | 4.50 | | Good condition and a pleasant enough maltiness - but lacked body for a 4.5 in my view. |
| Brakspear (at Marston's Wychwood) - Bitter | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Shepherd Neame - Spitfire (or Spitfire Amber Ale) | 4.20 | Not Tried |

Popped in with some work buddies for a quick half at lunch. Fairly busy with folk having lunch.

Came at lunch time and had a half. Sat in the garden at the rear with lots of other office workers and some kids. Nice view of carpark

|---|---|---|---|
| Shepherd Neame - Spitfire (or Spitfire Amber Ale) | 4.20 | | Started off well with plenty of bitterness well complemented by the hops but dropped off to a kind of warm bath water. |
| Adnams - Southwold Bitter | 3.70 | Not Tried |

Friday lunch time and it was full of groups of office workers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adnams - Southwold Bitter | 3.70 | | Too cold but at least it had that fresh hoppy malt combination that characterised Adnams of old. |
| Shepherd Neame - Master Brew Bitter | 3.70 | Not Tried |
