Came for lunch. First time I've ever been in this pub and it was lovely. The landlord was very friendly and helpful and the beer was excellent. Really good pub.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dark Star - Over The Moon | 3.80 | | Excellent condition and very hoppy with that nice roasted malt flavour. |
| Whitstable - East India Pale Ale (or EIPA) | 4.10 | | In good condition and less bready than usual. |
| Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Woodforde's - Wherry | 3.80 | Not Tried | I tried some of my dad's and it was in good condition and was probably the best Wherry I've had for 5 years or so |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Dark Star - Festival | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Gold Top | 4.30 | Not Tried |

Pub seemed quite quiet when we arrived at 1pm on a Sunday. It quickly filled up with diners for the carvery and we we lucky to get a small table for two amongst the sofas.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dark Star - Over The Moon | 3.80 | | An excellent dark beer. |
| Dark Star - Hophead was 3.8% (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.40 | | Given the number of beers and the age of the punters I thought this to be in excellent condition. |
| Whitstable - East India Pale Ale (or EIPA) | 4.10 |  | In good condition but I found this rather bland and shallow. Very few flavours coming through. |
| Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Gold Top | 4.30 | Not Tried |
