Early evening stop between trains. Complimentary hot snacks on the bar - stuffed potato skins, spring rolls and battered prawns.
| Arkell's - 3B | 4.00 | | Too chilled and unnecessarily served through a sparkler but still refreshing |

| Arkell's - Wiltshire Gold | 4.00 | Not Tried | |

Mid evening. One small group of 4 at a table.
| Arkell's - 3B | 4.00 | | Far too cold - condensation on the outside of the glass but still the beer flavour forced its way through |
| Arkell's - Moonlight | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Arkell's - Wiltshire Gold | 4.00 | Not Tried | |

Last visit of the evening prompted by a report that it was selling Donnington Ales.
| Donnington - BB | 3.50 |  | In first rate condition. As the links between Arkell's and Donnington are family close let's hope this ale is often in Arkell's pubs in the future. |

Late evening visit. Ear shattering covers band playing and they were very good - I could feel my ribs vibrating.
| Arkell's - 3B | 4.00 | | Very creamy - should this beer be served through a restrictor or served without as I'd expect? |
| Arkell's - Bee's Organic Ale | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Arkell's - Wiltshire Gold | 4.00 | Not Tried | |

A delayed Penzance to London Paddington train provided an ideal opportunity to quaff some Arkell's. Large bar area but only 6 or 7 customers at their posts. Rather irritating that a score of sticky smelly glasses remained on the corner of the bar throughout my visit. The Guv reckons it sells a 9 of 3B a day or more.
| Arkell's - 3B | 4.00 | | Right temperature, right head and just a good old traditional independent family brewer's bitter. Gives peace of mind sometimes |
