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.

| 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. |

A wet Bank Holiday Monday and like most places in the area much quieter than usual, but at least it had some customers which is more than can be said for some pubs in the area.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Banks's - Green Flash Citra Session India Pale Ale | 4.50 | | Light, hoppy and flavoursome. Delicious. |
| Conwy (Bragdy Conwy) - Rampart | 4.50 | | O.K. but not impressive. |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried |
