Lunchtime visit. Unexpectedly very crowded, which caught the kitchen a little by surprise. Fortunately we had booked.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Moon - Ambrose | 4.00 | | A pale beer with a slightly herbal hop taste, mellowed by honey and spiced with ginger. Very satisfying. |
| Marston's - Bass | 4.40 | Not Tried | |
| Dark Star - American Pale Ale (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 4.70 | Not Tried | |
| Marston's - Wychwood Hobgoblin IPA (was Ruby Beer, was Hobgoblin) | 4.50 | Not Tried | |

A family gathering here to celebrate my father’s 83rd birthday. Good to see that dad can still sniff out a decent pub, as we learn on arrival that the pub has just been awarded the South East Sussex CAMRA Pub of the Year award.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canterbury Brewers - Red Rye | 5.60 | | Strong and chewy. |
| Triple fff - Pressed Rat & Warthog | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Dartford Wobbler (re-named from Millis) - Dartford Wobbler | 4.30 | Not Tried | |

There has been a morning car boot fair in the adjoining field, which means that the two bars are busy but the dining area unexpectedly quiet. A nice lunch here with my parents.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Wild Hop | 4.00 | | A pleasant, mellow beer brewed using wild but non-aggressive, Kentish hops. |
| Marston's - Bass | 4.40 | Not Tried | |
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Blue Top | 4.80 | Not Tried | |
| Brains - SA Gold | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
| Plain Ales - The Wife's Bitter | 3.90 | Not Tried |

This was a family Sunday lunch, rather than a beer expedition. Good food and a nice atmosphere.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| St Austell - Trelawny | 3.80 | | Straightforward bitter, which complemented my roast dinner very well. |
| Banks's - Ringwood Fortyniner | 4.90 | Not Tried | |
| Woodforde's - Wherry | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Okell's - Red | 4.70 | Not Tried | |
