Quiet when I arrived, maybe 3 other people in, but heaving when we left! Great pub.
Surrey Hills - Albury Ruby | 4.60 |  | Umm, a Ruby hey. Tasted like a stout. Black, roasted and stout like |

Adnams - Southwold Bitter | 3.70 |  | Bit warm, probably first one poured that day. |
Oakham - Slovenian Wolf Single Hop | 3.90 |  | Great condition but just odd tasting. Very hoppy but with a weird mouldy cheese taste on the finish. |

Early evening busy as expected for such time on a Friday. Superb choice as always, my only gripe is the chalkboard listing the ales available doesn't reference which brewery they originate from.
