Early lunchtime (about 1130). One barperson struggling to serve many customers. Complaints about breakfasts not having arrived. Eventually got served a short pint, supped it and left. Just noted that one.

Afternoon visit and a nice pleasant atmosphere, service was prompt and friendly and I met up with a fellow CAMRA member in here. We wondered whether at £2.65 per pint (before discount) this might be the most expensive pub in town. The usual range of beers were available plus the ones listed below.

Early evening and busy nearly all tables taken. Just a swift one before my bus to Great Chart. I've only listed the beer I had.

Excellent service spoiled by junior schol chucking out time and young mothers not knowing their table numbers and shouting across the pub. Without doubt the best place in Ashford for beer though.

Busy for a mid evening mid week visit no doubt due to Ashford's rapidly diminishing variety of pubs to choose from.

Mid afternoon til late evening. One of my rare visits to a Wetherspoons however not by choice due to attending our work do. Quieter than I expected not many other gatherings of a similar ilk. I've only listed the beer I drank.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wantsum - Hengist | 5.00 | | This was very nice so decided to stay loyal for the duration. Flavours of biscuit malt balancing a long fruit hop. |
