Tiny pub with two small bars and packed to the gunnels with many folk both inside and out for our late afternoon to early evening visit. Real ales on gravity so extra work for the efficient bar staff to-ing and fro-ing fetching beer from somewhere out the back!
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crouch Vale - Essex Boys Best Bitter | 3.80 | | Faultless in all aspects and a joy to drink for this flavousome proper English bitter. |
| Mauldons - Silver Adder | 4.20 | | A light coloured fare with fine hop and malt combinations giving a refreshing crisp finish. |
| Colchester - Raven | 4.30 | | Chocolate coffee and caramel with a smooth roasty bitterness for this decadent and indulgent porter. |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Skinner's (now brewed by Goodh) - Lushingtons Sunshine Pale Ale | 4.20 | Not Tried |
