Lunchtime on a sunny October Saturday. We sat in the little bar too close to the roaring fire and watched the young things disport in the garden.An american craft keg wheat beer-Blue Moon, also available.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wall's - The Dark Side | 4.40 | | Described as a milk stout.Jet black with a lasting white head.Bitter chocolate,hedge fruit:not too much roast malt. Very approachable. |
| Wensleydale - Semer Water | 4.10 | | Brave for a brewer to name a beer after a large waterbody. Pale and citrus with some background sweetness from the malt. Grand stuff, selling very well. |
| Timothy Taylor - Landlord | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
| Heineken - John Smith's Bitter (a.k.a. Cask and Original) | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Black Hole - Cosmic | 4.20 | Not Tried | Our son tried this |

The classic ham 'n'eggs pub.Cosy snug, slightly larger bar and dining room.Dog freindly,though ours were banished to the car.Busy Saturday lunchtime.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bradfield - Farmers Blonde | 4.00 | | We're farmers, and MrsW is brunette, but otherwise this was perfect:citrus, but with a heap of malt flavour. Deathly pale, as is the modern way,but I liked it. |
| Brass Monkey - Golden Monkey | 4.10 | | Good beer, but bit more colour, bit less flavour. |
| Timothy Taylor - Landlord | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
| Heineken - John Smith's Bitter (a.k.a. Cask and Original) | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Black Sheep - Golden Sheep | 3.90 | Not Tried | Tried Uncle George's-found it tasteless and bland. |
| Black Sheep - Best Bitter | 3.80 | Not Tried |

Superb local pub, situated on the bank of the River Cover. This was a favourite haunt of Richard Whiteley, who used to enjoy the Ham, Eggs and Chips, which was excellent.
