About 17:00 and the pub was doing very well, I was pleased to see that Marstons have finally got around to calling the Orignal by its proper name of Mild again.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Banks's - Mild | 3.50 | | I liked the beer, and the shiny new pump clips which have replaced the ones that said Original. The barmaid said the casks are still labelled as Original. I really enjoyed this beer and had two pints. |

Comfortable, but not really busy for a Friday evening.

The pub was very busy, this place is obviously becoming very popular. There were only two cask ales on, and we had the last of the Banks's Mild. We were informed that two beers brewed for the World Cup would be ready, and on sale the next day.

|---|---|---|---|
| Banks's - Banks's (aka Original) | 3.50 | | The very end of the cask, but in superb condition. We would have had more if there had been any available. |

A welcome break from unpacking was needed after moving into my new house yesterday so decided to make the 5 minute trot across the road and join ChrisE in my new local.

A good friend of mine had just moved in to a house very close to this pub, and he invited me join him here for some refreshment. This pub appears to be doing very well, and the beers were in good condition, a pity about the tight sparklers though.

| Burtonwood - Top Hat Premium Bitter | 4.80 | | We all agreed that this was a very enjoyable pint. |

I came here for lunch. Reasonably busy, but food service was slow, so I had a second pint while I was waiting for the food to arrive.

Surprisingly busy for a Wednesday evening. Mostly families and groups of people enjoying a drink and a bite to eat. There were leaflets promoting cask ale week at the bar.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Banks's - Banks's (aka Original) | 3.50 | | A good session beer, which seems to be going back to its proper name of Mild in current publicity from the brewery. A refreshing pint that I would have preferred without a very tight sparkler. |
| Wychwood (now brewed at Banks's) - Paddy's Tout | 4.30 | | Dark beer with coffee caramel taste. |
| Marston's - Pedigree | 4.50 | |

Came for lunch with my mother and sister. Pretty decent burger and my mother's gammon steak was excellent.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wychwood (now brewed at Banks's) - Dirty Tackle | 4.00 | | I think is good. Doesn't taste like a Wychwood beer, but good malts and clean finish. |
