2030 visit. Another old pub I've not visited for nearly two years, and been taken over since then. Real ale in bottles still sold plus the introduction of cask, 3 on plus a Cider, have made this a decent little pub. And only £2.70 a pint too! Also worthy of note for future visits, on Sundays, "Beer Tapas", try 3 ales (in 1/3 glasses) for £2.70! On Mondays, Happy Hour is between 5-9pm. All beer at £2.00 a pint!! Clientèle and interior not changed at all? Well recommended.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hogs Back - Tongham TEA (previously T.E.A.) | 4.20 | | Good, but again, not cool enough. |
| Okell's - Autumn Dawn | 4.20 | | A good ale usually, only let down here by not being served cool enough. |
| Canterbury Brewers - Foundry Man's Gold | 4.00 | Not Tried | Surprised indeed to see this here, only had one sample before now. Alas, it went off afore my eyes! |
