Quite busy throughout our lunchtime visit. We had the two main course for £10 this time and it was good. Friendly and efficient staff.

Quite busy when we came for our lunch with our friends. On offer was the main menu, 2 main courses for £10 and a main course and sweet for £5.75 . We choose to try the latter and had value for money. The service was good and staff friendly.

About 15:30 on a Monday afternoon, and the place was almost deserted, but it was starting to fill up by the time that we left.

| Marston's - Pedigree | 4.50 | | O.K. but nothing special. |
| Marston's - Long Hop | 4.00 | | A bit spicy, not really what I was expecting. |
| Banks's - Bitter | 3.80 | | Tasted a bit tired, possibly end of cask. |

Following a chance meeting of an ex-colleague and his wife at a garden centre we ended up having a 2 for £10 main course meal with them at this nearby hostelry. The place was fairly busy and we enjoyed our food. The service was good too.

Just finished a run of day shifts so was thirsty and popped into my local to see what was on, was fairly busy so had to wait a few minutes for my 1st pint.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wychwood (now brewed at Banks's) - Paddy's Tout | 4.30 | | Not my normal type of beer but the Pedigree was off and I fancied something stronger than Mild, so opted for this. Smooth chocolate flavour with a hint of oxo aftertaste so have stuck with it and its rather enjoyable. |
| Marston's - Pedigree | 4.50 | Not Tried | Not on, unfortunately. |
| Banks's - Mild | 3.50 | Not Tried |

Fairly busy in the restaurant areas at lunchtime when I visited with my wife, an ex-colleague and his wife. The meal was good and atmosphere friendly.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Banks's - Mild | 3.50 | | A malty and hoppy ale. |

| Banks's - Mansfield Old Baily | 4.80 | Not Tried | They were out of this which was a pity as I was hoping to try it. |

I'd been cycling around bits of Ashford so I was in need of refreshment. Fairly busy Sunday. Never had an issue with beer quality here I must admit.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marston's - Wicked Witch | 4.60 | | Now only 4.2% down from the original 4.6% ABV. It's a dark brown best bitter with some sting on the finish. Fine if unremarkable. |

About 17:00 and the pub was doing very well, I was pleased to see that Marstons have finally got around to calling the Orignal by its proper name of Mild again.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Banks's - Mild | 3.50 | | I liked the beer, and the shiny new pump clips which have replaced the ones that said Original. The barmaid said the casks are still labelled as Original. I really enjoyed this beer and had two pints. |
