Evening until close.
| Mighty Oak - Cockney Rebel | 4.40 | | Slow drinking as very full in flavour. First Gold and Newport hops |

22 Jul 2014 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening until close. One group in the corner would have liked to have been left the keys!
| Mighty Oak - Runaway Gold | 3.60 | | Guv Ray has a penchant for looking after Mighty Oak in a way many others fail to |
| Kent - Brewers Reserve | 5.00 | | Had lost its edge |
| Cottage - Sticky Wicket | 4.20 |  | Sweetish brew. Can never build a beer loyalty to any Cottage brew as no idea what it will be like and will never see the same one again. |
| Goody Ales - Bleangate Brewery - Genesis | 3.50 | Not Tried | Ran out |
19 Jul 2014 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening. Local CAMRA branch members present confirmed that the pub has been awarded CAMRA Greater London Pub of the Year for 2014. Now onwards and upwards to the National finals!
| Kent - Brewers Reserve | 5.00 | | |
| Mighty Oak - Battle Cruiser | 4.30 | | Subtly different from yesterday |
| Kent - Pale | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Goody Ales - Bleangate Brewery - Genesis | 3.50 | Not Tried | |
18 Jul 2014 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening until close. Seems as if The Door Hinge is well in the running to win the Greater London CAMRA Pub of the Year 2014 award. Spectacular.
| Kent - Brewers Reserve | 5.00 | | Preview pint of one which will be on sale from tomorrow |
| Mighty Oak - Battle Cruiser | 4.30 | | Wheat beer with very dry and bitter aftertaste |
| Mighty Oak - Highly Strung | 4.00 | | A strawberry blonde. I was edgy about trying it but in the end the strawberry was incorporated into a dry tasting beer very well |
| Mighty Oak - Night Owl | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
