| Marston's - Celebration Pale Ale | 3.60 | Not Tried | A printed paper pumpclip implying it was for a new royal prince. Reckon this was the wrong clip for "something" - probably the currently available "One is 90" QE birthday brew. Who knows?? |

Evening. So people really do order a 'Spoon's meal at 5 to (the deadline) 11. Not me I must add, far too early to eat.

18 Feb 2016 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening until minutes before close. Balance of bar staff to floor staff remains wrong as lots of detritus on the floor, slowly cleared tables and the hatch to the dead glasses area looked ghastly.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rockin Robin - Reliant Robin (superseded by 3.7% version) | 4.20 | | More balanced and sweeter than the Reckless Robin |
| Rockin Robin - Reckless Robin | 4.50 | | As sour tasting as another Rockin Robin beer I had earlier at The Broken Drum |

Evening until just short of midnight. 1st visit since re-opening after last year's fire. Packed - where did they all drink in the interim? Usual problems of lots of "Available soon" beer. Lots of staff behind bar but on the floor lots of rubbish and slowly cleared tables with just one potman. AND no Abbot and no nuts - most unWetherspoon'sish that I aver.
