One of the worst Spoons ive been in. Bombardier was their guest ale. Staff trying to stop dodgy customers entering.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | | Asked for a top up twice but he insisted on a short pint. As I only paid 1.45 I didnt push it and accepted my short pint with little grace. |
