As expected fairly quiet for a late Monday afternoon to early evening session and enjoy a few pints and a pizza, one is spoilt for choice thanks to Ashford's many superb real ale town centre boozers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marston's - Old Empire IPA | 5.70 | | |
| Exe Valley - Autumn Glory | 4.50 | | Rich ruby colour with a figgy toasted malt aroma and bran muffin cinder toffee flavours. |
| Oakham - JHB | 3.80 | | Rather tired and lacking condition, the cask was taken off once we'd voiced our displeasure. |

| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | West country ales well represented tonight... |

| Shepherd Neame - Hop to the Future | 4.50 | | I was put off by the description of tropical and citrus fruit notes but I am glad that I tried it as it is not to citrusy at all. |

Busy with a mix of diners and drinkers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wantsum - Imperium | 4.00 | | A short measure but as I was only paying £1.49 with a voucher I decided not to complain. |

Bit of business in Ashford - haven’t been here for a while. The town is looking rather bleak with many empty shops. Made Inn close on Monday so ended up here. A bit more joyful.

Saturday afternoon, the area set aside for those without the Wetherspoon App looked rather busy so I decided to use the spacious area towards the rear of the pub. This was the first time that I have used the app and I must say I prefer to pay cash. Having said that there was no problem in ordering the guest cask ales with this device.

I came here because I was curious to see how 'Spoons managed the table service only law. Two girls who tried to enter at about the same time as me were turned away and told to buy some face masks and I wondered whether they would be allowed access to a shop to buy face coverings. Customers such as myself who did not wish to use the App were directed to the small area to the right hand side of the pub for table service. Service was good and I had no trouble paying part in cash and part with a CAMRA voucher.
