Last knockings visit until close.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | | Apparently new cask put on earlier. Could not have been pulled through when attached as first pint pulled full murk, second half murk, third clear and drinkable and good |

12 Apr 2022 (Philip Pirrip)
Last knockings visit until close. Very limited ale range - lots of pump handles tilted backed back to staff side, as some sort of sign understood by few.

|---|---|---|---|
| Banks's - Young Henrys Real Ale | 4.00 | | Once again not a patch on the first one I had at festival start elsewhere that had set a high bar |

Last knockings visit until close. No trying to force plastic glasses on late arrivals this week - how inconsistent can customer service be?

Last knocking visits until close. Took much effort to not be served in plastic. Server said she wanted everyone out by 5 past midnight. What an encouragement towards irresponsible drinking for someone served at 2359! I noticed most people left around 15 minutes past as usual here.

30 Mar 2022 (Philip Pirrip)
Last knockings visit until close. Very poor selection of real ales for day one of the JDW beer festival. As usual a festival beer pump clip was showing but turned out to be either sold out (already!!) or simply not available. This poor practice constantly damages the JDW brand.

Last knockings visit until midnight close. Staff seemed to want everybody out by 0001hrs, presumably just for their own benefit.
