Beautiful afternoon by the sea. 3 guests on. Went to the Butchers Arms at lunchtime yesterday and found it closed . Very limited opening these days if you're not in a big group.

Few in on a slightly sunny end of the day. Waiting for a meal at kumars curry house. 3 guests on but repeats of the guests they've had all summer.

Only 3 guests on with a packed pub. They couldn't change the gloombar quickly enough for the dfls. Mist kept us cool on the balcony.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Keltek - King5.10AcceptableThis seems to be a regular here as are the other guests. This beer doesn't suit a warm day. Caramel tones but too warm spoil this beer yet again.

Big crowd on a warm Sunday afternoon. But only 1 guest on. Very disappointing in Europe's biggest pub.

BeerABVScoreNotes
Goffs - White Knight4.70GoodAcceptable but uninspiring. Maybe I should have accepted the 3 inch head originally offered. Bar girl told me they had to serve it with a sparkler.
