Quietly busy on a snowy Saturday lunchtime.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Larkins - Traditional | 3.40 | | I came in the hope of finding Larkins Porter, but this banished any disappointment in its non appearance:satisfyingly hoppy, with a seasonal fruitiness. Probably my favourite "brown" bitter. |
| Dark Star - Hophead was 3.8% (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.40 | | This is a great beer-it's not dark,it's not chocolately, but I love it! |
| Whitstable - Christmas Pudding | 4.60 | | The barmaid kindly gave me a taster of this.I'd hoped for a dark , rich, spicy confection,just like its namesake. Unfortunately, it was mid-brown and cloyingly sweet. |
| Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | Not Tried | A pub that forces me to pass Harveys by:thats praise indeed! |

Lovely atmosphere with a large number of ladies eating curry and drinking pints.
