Big crowd on a warm Sunday afternoon. But only 1 guest on. Very disappointing in Europe's biggest pub.

Cool afternoon by the sea. 3 guests on.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Goffs - White Knight4.70GoodAcceptable but uninspiring. Maybe I should have accepted the 3 inch head originally offered. Bar girl told me they had to serve it with a sparkler.

Mega windy day. Sat outside for a while till had to retreat inside. Packed out on a Saturday afternoon. Disappointing to see only 2 guests on a day they could sell 6 from the numerous handpumps.
