Lunchtime, Pilgrim Gold Spice still "coming soon".
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jennings (since closure now brewed at Marston's) - Sneck Lifter | 5.10 | | Very enjoyable. |
| Pilgrim - Weald Ale | 3.60 | | Very nice light hoppy pale ale, but doesn't seem to match the description or ABV on the brewery's website or internet searches. |
| Batemans - XXXB (now superseded by 4.8% version) | 4.50 | | Not as good as it used to be. |
| Eagle (formerly Wells & Young's, formerly Charles Wells, formerly Wells) - Bombardier (was Bombardier Glorious English) (use Eagle entry now please) | 4.10 | Not Tried | Ordered, but went off. |

Lunchtime
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Belhaven - Caledonian Deuchars IPA | 3.80 | | This was a surprise. From this example a much improved beer compared to last time I had it, striving to reach past glories perhaps? |
| Oakham - JHB | 3.80 | | Second best to Deuchars today, who'd have thought?! |
| Batemans - Veto Ale | 4.30 | | Not their best offering. |
| Greene King - Morland Old Speckled Hen | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| Dark Star - Hophead was 3.8% (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.40 | Not Tried |

Coming soon Old Hooky from Hook Norton.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dark Star - Hophead was 3.8% (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.40 | | Fresh barrel and in great condition. |
| Salopian - Shropshire Gold | 3.80 | | Shouldn't really have had this after the Hophead as it wasn't quite on the same level really! |
| Shepherd Neame - Late Red | 4.50 | | |
| Batemans - Veto Ale | 4.30 | Not Tried | Exclusive to Wetherspoons according to the flyers in the pub. |
