A late Sunday lunch visit. This is a somewhat classier suburban Wetherspoon, in both surroundings and clientele, than you get around my way. Desperately slow service though.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Banks's - Sunbeam | 4.20 | | Light in colour and sparingly hopped with Citra and Nelson Sauvin. Quite pleasant. |
