Not too busy. Got a seat. Always feels like a cafe for some reason.

Stop 5. I’m more than twice the age of the other customers - even the older ones - but we all enjoy singing along to “Life on Mars”.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cellar Head - Red Rye IPA | 4.50 | | Very tasty and in good condition. |

Oh dear, I used to like this pub but today it was noisy and unwelcoming. Three of the four handpumps are now used for cider, replacing some of the ales, and there is a massive font with a huge choice of keg beers and Prosecco.

Afternoon visit for a pint and a sandwich. Both were very enjoyable. I drank a Wantsum beer which was called Uhelski, Uholski or something like that at 4.3% but I am not sure of the spelling and have not (yet) listed it below.

I saw they had a Canterbury Ales beer on so I came in. It was quite quiet.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canterbury Ales (sometimes badged as Canterbrew) - The Wife of Bath's Ale | 3.90 | | Cloudy and no condition. Shame that such a good beer was not on form. I didn't bother drinking it. |
