Nice enough upstairs, but unless they improve how they look after their beers, it will take me a lot to be tempted back into here.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Batemans - Dragon's Den4.10AcceptableSlightly yeasty bitter. It's a bitter. OK. Fine.
17 Apr 2009 (Andrew)
Walking in we noticed all the chairs had gone. The lady behind the bar said it was because that part of the pub was now a dance floor. We initially sat a the rear of the pub but after some loud tracksuit clad fellows sat at the table next to us we went upstairs where it was quiet.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Barons - Bush Berry Porter4.50PoorThis is a mild surely? Anyway, mild or porter it wasn't very good. Tart, low hoping, black, milky sick and smells bad.

The barmaids were dressed up in tacky cupid costumes. The beer here can be good, but I wasn't keen on the atmosphere or beer today.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Robinsons - Trouble & Strife4.10PoorChestnut colour, some diacetyl on aroma. Not as yeasty as some Robinson beers, nutty fruity malt, poor condition. Some tingle on tongue
Spinning Dog - Border Bitter4.50PoorCopper colour, again poor condition. Bit of everything, some hop, some sweetness from malt, a little hop sting on finish. Poor condition.
08 Apr 2006 (Andrew)
Came in for a quick bite of lunch after the Rifle and before getting our train. Seemed to be sitting at the staff smoking table but hey that's okay
BeerABVScoreNotes
Hopdaemon - Incubus4.00AcceptableCan't remember much about this but it didn't jump out at me.
