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.

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.

| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | | Ripped to hell through a tight sparkler removing most of the taste from the ale, making it a poor example that was drunk with some resentment |
