Lunchtime visit, this pub has recently reopened after a refurbishment and there was a smell of fresh paint. We sat in an alcove and enjoyed our beer.

Recently re-opened with the smell of fresh paint prevalent in this slightly corporate feeling but comfortable and welcoming pub.

|---|---|---|---|
| Marston's - Bass | 4.40 | | Rather tired and malty |
| Marston's - Pedigree | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Banks's - Wainwright | 4.10 | Not Tried |

Unplanned last visit of the evening with trains running up to 240 minutes late. Road transport to London ensued in due course.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marston's - Burton Bitter | 3.80 | | Bland. No choice as other beers were seemingly having lines cleaned |

Mid evening brief visit. I was bemused by the explanation as to why a half of Burton Bitter was £2 when a pint was £3.50 especially as the till button pressed was for Premium Beer! It was of little use to be told I could have had 20% off if I had visited between 4 and 6 with a valid train ticket or pass.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marston's - Burton Bitter | 3.80 | | Not had this for a very long time but at £2 a half it might be a long time until the next, here at least |
| Marston's - EPA | 3.60 | Not Tried | |
| Wychwood (now brewed at Banks's) - Bah Humbug! | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
| Marston's - Pedigree New World Pale Ale | 3.80 | Not Tried |

Evening. So crowded with standees round the bar and seeing no Pedigree on offer I turned tail.

Evening.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marston's - EPA | 3.60 | | Nowt wrong with this one |
| Thwaites (brewed at Banks's) - Wainwright (please now use the Banks's entry) | 4.10 | Not Tried | Not an iota of Banks's provenance at point of sale - so no go for me |

Evening. Few in and loud music rock on the loudspeakers. Barmaid high-fived me when she found out I was a Led Zep man.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marston's - Pedigree | 4.50 | | |
| Marston's - Pedigree New World Pale Ale | 3.80 | Not Tried |

Evening. Pedigree seemed to run out after a few pulls but cask just needed tilting.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marston's - Pedigree | 4.50 | | I stuck with a half from the pulls before the cask needed tilting |
