Late evening visit until close.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | | Absolutely ruined by dispense. Turned into a tasteless creamy mess that did not resemble any Abbot I know. Ripped to hell through a restrictor tight sparkler |

04 May 2022 (Philip Pirrip)
Late evening visit until midnight close. If this place can keep to its hours why can't the Jolly Woodman at Beckenham I asked myself many times. Cares more for its customers I suppose.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | | In very fine form |
| Hydes - Lowry | 4.70 | | First time I have tried a Hydes beer for ages, interesting taste shall we say |
| Windsor & Eton - George | 4.00 | | Describes itself as a New English Ale whatever that means. Fobbed awfully on pouring. Tasted fresh, too fresh |
