Reasonably busy for early lunchtime visit. Warm welcome and prompt service. Stood at the bar to down a half of the one and only real ale on.

Late evening visit, Monday quiet! Pleasant small terraced house. Convenient C10 bus stops nearby.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revolutions - Swoon | 4.50 | | Chocolate fudge milk stout, a bit too warm implying a lengthy stay in the pipes on a quiet night |
| Ilkley - Mary Jane | 3.50 | Not Tried | |
| Burning Sky - Plateau (was 3.5%) | 3.40 | Not Tried |

I have noticed that my office and this nice little pub are linked by the C10 bus route. Unfortunately the C10 bus route on a rainy evening rush hour turns out to be a little vision of hell on earth. The first and last time I shall take this route after work. Very pleasant in here though.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hammerton - Life on Mars | 4.60 | | A Red Ale. Very fruity (cranberries?) without being too sweet. |
| CTZN (formerly Kew) - Trivia Fountain | 5.10 | | A cloudy, fruity, Pale Ale. |
| Redemption - Big Chief | 5.50 | Not Tried | |
| Hop Stuff - Oatmeal Stout | 4.80 | Not Tried |

Nice cooking smells and a group of medical students discussing unpleasant bodily functions. Relaxed and welcoming.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dark Star - Hophead was 3.8% (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.40 | | A very fresh and sparkly, hoppy pint. Over-chilled here. |
| Adnams - Sole Star | 2.70 | Not Tried | |
| Dark Star - Revelation | 5.70 | Not Tried |
