Noisy more riotous than expected for a suburban pub on a Friday evening, mostly folk drinking I didn't notice any diners. We found a table by the window and enjoyed a couple of pre curry beers. Despite this the bar staff were on the ball and we were served promptly each time. Impressive beer range here tonight which I wasn't expecting.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marston's - Pedigree | 4.50 | | Excellent condition with all the toffee bitterness prevalent. |
| Marston's - Wychwood Hobgoblin IPA (was Ruby Beer, was Hobgoblin) | 4.50 | Not Tried |

Early evening busy with mostly younger folk, the two bar staff struggled to cope hence extended waiting time at the bar. I was impressed with the beer range on offer.

I fancied a poor choice of national bland beers and I wasn't disappointed, George has been his usual Generous self with the beer range on this busy mid Saturday evening visit.

| Marston's - Pedigree | 4.50 | | Acidic twang detracted from the usual flavours. |
| Marston's - Wychwood Hobgoblin IPA (was Ruby Beer, was Hobgoblin) | 4.50 | | Rich plummy chewy and syrupy ale |

Mid evening and busy mainly with drinkers, some accompanied by a few boisterous children who luckily departed not long after our arrival. Usual unexciting beer range on offer.

Late evening and very busy with both drinkers and diners. We managed to find a free table by the window. Disappointing beer range here tonight.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Banks's - Amber (was Amber Bitter) | 3.80 |  | Flat cold and tasteless. Hopefully not the start of a continuing trend here. |

Mid evening and fairly busy by the bar, we had our pick of tables so opted for one by a welcome open window on a warm sunny evening. Since last year's refurb Marston's seem to have given up on offering customers a wider choice of beers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marston's - Pedigree | 4.50 | | Excellent condition compared to my last visit. The first pint didn't touch the sides! |

Mid evening and fairly busy with drinkers and diners, a fair amount of tables reserved for later groups. The exciting beer range tonight caught me by surprise I must admit.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Banks's - Amber (was Amber Bitter) | 3.80 | | In as good condition as expected however not eyebrow raising. |
| Marston's - Pedigree | 4.50 |  | Tired and lacklustre, lacking it's usual liveliness. |
| Jennings (since closure now brewed at Marston's) - Cocker Hoop (aka September Ale) | 4.60 | Not Tried |
