Pub number 8. Surprisingly large inside given its frontage. Modern and clearly aimed at the keg market judging by the large keg board. We sat at the back on raised padded bench seating.

Oakham - White Dwarf4.30GoodCrisp, hoppy Oakhams. First time I ever had this was in the Mogul in Dover on my first visit there. Memories hey.

I met up with a group of friends and found it unexpectedly busy for a late Wednesday afternoon with a few other groups dotted about. Comfortable and relaxed atmosphere could have stayed longer if there was more choice of cask ales available.

Swift half while waiting for the bus, mid afternoon, 1 other customer. Prices have changed considerably since Chris E’s visit. One cask at £4 a pint. 17 kegs between 4.5 and 5.5 a pint. Pleasant enough space. I tried the Tonbridge “Easy Street” at 3.9% that was good. Brit Hop “Thirst for Knowledge” (4.3%) was the only cask on.

Second venue for our group - mid evening and quiet, we took over the lengthways table array.

Iron Pier - Wealdway IPA4.50ExcellentBrewed using Columbus and Chinook hops, resulting in a piney, citrus and floral aroma.

A first visit for me. A good selection of craft. keg, key keg or whatever and one cask ale. All the beers seemed to be competitively priced, the cask ale was good value at £3 per pint.

Late afternoon, busy with a group of jolly gents gathered at the far end of the long bar which happened to be where a single handpump was hiding the pub's only cask ale in a sea of keg offerings. Despite this we enjoyed the atmosphere here and the bespoke pizza's looked most enticing.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Saltaire - South Island Pale3.50ExcellentSuperb condition very flavoursome the NZ hops striking a good balance with the gravity of this beer. £3 a pint for the thrifty minded too.
