Lunchtime on a hot day and both the garden and the pub itself are filling up with locals (South Benfleet is not much on the tourist trail). There was also a beer called 'Midnight Sun' with no brewery details on the clip.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adnams - Broadside | 4.70 | | Pretty good. |
| Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |

A welcome refreshment point at the end of a long, hot Essex ramble.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adnams - Broadside | 4.70 | | At its best, Broadside is a richly malty and fruity pint – and here it was at its best. I was not tempted to shift from this beer. |
| Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Eagle (formerly Wells & Young's, formerly Charles Wells, formerly Wells) - Courage Directors (use Banks's entry now please) | 4.80 | Not Tried | |
| Marston's - Wychwood Hobgoblin IPA (was Ruby Beer, was Hobgoblin) | 4.50 | Not Tried |
