Friday lunchtime - very busy and service slow (as seems to be the norm in 'spoons). No rush though and we sat outside in the sunshine on the sea-facing veranda with about 100 others. Very impressed with the refurbishment of this iconic seaside building. A lot of pumps turned round or "coming soon". Just noted the couple I had plus a couple of more unusual ales on.
| Jennings (since closure now brewed at Marston's) - Sneck Lifter | 5.10 |  | Dark, dry and malty. |
| Grafton - Apricot Jungle | 4.80 | | Really liked this - full apricot flavour, but not In a way that spoiled the beer. |
| Purple Moose - Dark Side of the Moose | 4.60 | Not Tried | |
| Lymestone - Ein Stein | 5.00 | Not Tried | |

| Lymestone - Ein Stein | 5.00 |  | Quality |

4 Guests on, 6 available soons and 9 Ruddles, Abbott and gloombar. When the guests go off they are not being replaced but the regulars are. 90 min wait for food. I had a pint but after I queued 20 mins for another one I was told I had to join a queue though I should have been next. Sophie the young barmaid told me to join behind 7 others. No thank you. Customer isnt always right in this place.
| JW Lees (see also Lees) - Moonraker | 6.50 | | |

Just back from holiday and had to visit. 18 handpumps in action. But 9 of them had Ruddles, Abbot and Gloombar. 2 sorry not availables leaving 7 beers of which we tried two. Very noisy. Lots of youngsters. I counted 10 bouncers so we should feel safe. Meal deals all more expensive than any other spoons ive been in.
| JW Lees (see also Lees) - Moonraker | 6.50 | | Not bad and at £2.05 a pint with a camra discount fab value. |
| Goffs - Jouster Ale | 4.00 | | Tasted very much of antiseptic. No body. But drinkable. |
