Late evening visit across midnight. Overflowing when other pubs in the area have closed for the night or just ticking by. Lessons to be learnt - - I expect not.

Late evening visit until close accompanied by several Swansea Welsh émigrés from The River Ale House. Pumpclip display all a mess, some half turned round, some showing but beer not available when we asked. Easy to sort with thought and care.

Late evening visit until close. Packed to the gunnels. Once again no Abbot and a sadly reduced real ale range.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| Brains - SA | 4.20 | | Despite feeling conned by lack of proper brewing provenance at point of sale this was in fine form with a very distinct lip smacking bitter lingering |

Late evening visit until close. Looks like the students are back. Nothing more annoying than pump clips showing but beer not available. Abbot not available and another pump clip was showing but under line cleaning. They will never learn here.

| Summerskills - Westward Ho! | 4.10 | | Far too cold in the glass. The taste only came though towards at the very of the glass as the liquid had warmed |

Late evening visit until midnight close.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | | Tasted of absolutely nothing at all |
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 |  | Slight caramel notes and a nasty backtaste, no traditional off tastes so not sure what was wrong here |

| Sambrook's - Wandle | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Sambrook's - Pumphouse Pale Ale | 4.20 | Not Tried | Why this pump pursues the habit of displaying a pumpclip when a beer is not available I shall never understand |

Late evening visit across midnight. Despite forms available by the door the doorman said no need whatsoever to complete Test and Trace documentation. Old Rosie pumpclip showing but none such for sale.
