A very nice pub, planned on just having a couple of pints but ended up staying for dinner too. Lovely food, well worth it.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dark Star - Winter Solstice | 4.20 | | A brilliant beer, very flowerly. Not a typical winter beer but very nice all the same |
| Nelson - Dogwatch Stout | 4.50 | | One of the best stouts I've tasted in a long time. Deep chocolate flavour, very good. |
| Loddon - Razzle Dazzle | 4.30 | | A nice beer but over shaddowed by the others I tasted. A nice light ale with a moderatly hoppy flavour. |

Arrived at midday and there were already people in eating. By 1pm it was busy. The menu is massive and so are the portions. The staff were friendly and the beer line-up interesting. Good pub.

Called in mid afternoon to escape the scorching heat. Sat outside the front door and watched the passing car drivers watching us.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eastwood & Sanders - Nettlethrasher | 4.40 | | Mid brown / golden bitter. Smooth feel in the mouth with a creamy, consistant head. This has an intense bitter finish, which raises it from the ordinary. |
| Ringwood - Razorback | 3.80 | | Brown bitter with light, foamy head. Just one of those bog standard ales, OK but lacks interest. |
| Shepherd Neame - Spitfire (or Spitfire Amber Ale) | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Tring - Jack O Legs | 4.20 | Not Tried | Went off just as they were pouring my pint |

Midweek lunchtime session was very busy with virtually all the customers eating. As this pub is known more for its food than its beer I was surprised to find 5 real ales available and not just the usual suspects either. The ales were all listed on a chalk board next to the entrance, with their ABVs so you could choose before getting to the bar. I only had time to try 2 as the chauffeur was getting restless, but I shall certainly return soon to try some others.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elgood's - Mad Dog | 4.40 | | Not as fierce as the name might suggest. Lovely smooth pint, with a nice bitter aftertaste. |
| Hydes - Celebration | 4.00 | | Light, golden bitter with a clear hoppy taste. Easy to drink and well served |
| Shepherd Neame - Spitfire (or Spitfire Amber Ale) | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Nethergate (was Nethergate Growler for a while then name reverted) - Old Chap | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Ringwood - Razorback | 3.80 | Not Tried |
