Lunchtime cycle meet. We sat outside in the sunshine! Then in the function room as the pub was pretty full.

Early afternoon- here for the beer, cider and music festival - on all over the Easter weekend. Beers in the stable block - reasonable choice for a pub with limited offerings normally. Pleasantly busy in the sunshine.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mad Cat - Jester | 4.00 | | Super pale ale in top condition. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 5 | 4.40 | | |
| Kent - Prohibition | 4.80 | | Not quite the wow factor I was expecting. |
| Theakston - XB (was 4.6%) | 4.50 | | Good flavour but totally flat. |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 3 | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Tring - Side Pocket for a Toad | 3.60 | Not Tried | |
| Timothy Taylor - Landlord Dark (was Ram Tam) | 4.30 | Not Tried | |

Cycle meet, Sunday lunchtime. Seven of us enjoyed it, seems like a good community pub. Shame about the lack of choice on ales - just the TT Landlord on today.

My first new pub for over 6 months.
Large outside area with good shelter. For what I could see of the pub it looked like a traditional village local.

Got there about lunch time and went into the comfy saloon bar which was empty. The public bar seemed busy with locals. The barman was friendly.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Black Sheep - Best Bitter | 3.80 | | Loverly sweet bitter tasting copper coloured beer with a long satisfying bitter finish (I could write for a beer magazine you know) |
| Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | Lets have a competition to see if we can find a pub that doesn't have this on |
