8th stop of the outing to Oxted and its environs: Busy on arrival early evening as indeed all Spoons are. My last visit to a Spoons was at Maidenhead three weeks ago. One vacant table to be found and unless hovering to seize another. Strange that this Wetherspoon pub and the Oxted Royal British Legion Club are the only real ale establishments in the whole of Oxted itself and not including Old Oxted with just two pubs there offering a single choice of real ale in each. Strange indeed and given the local brews earlier in the day supped in all of the pubs in the more rural locations around Oxted. They were much enjoyed and recognised for being local and by sheer contrast, a restaurant/pub a stroll away from Old Oxted was offering an unrivalled six real ales. Met with prompt, friendly service as is customary in a Spoons and told the curry would only be some 10 minutes away which it was which certainly did not disappoint. 8 real ales on was impressive for an otherwise apathetic real ale town.

Evening. Good to see several Hopdaemon beers here but the location advertises LocAle inside and there were none to be seen. I also concluded that the term Craft Ale or Craft Beer is a busted flush when I saw 'Spoon's selling 355ml cans of Sixpoint US beers as Craft Beer here (2 for a fiver).

Afternoon. two beer to come on soon including Kissingate Black Cherry mild!
