A good Saturday lunchtime crowd, a relaxing and enjoyable couple of pints.

|---|---|---|---|
| Shepherd Neame - Christmas Ale | 5.00 | | One of the finest Shepherd Neame beers for some time. Amber coloured and full of flavour. (Brewer’s notes: a full bodied, warming winter ale. Light in colour, using the very best malt and hops to produce a truly special beer). |
