A first class pub, I enjoyed my visit here (although I did notice that I was missed out when a bowl of roast potatoes was passed around – perhaps I looked sufficiently well-fed already).

Dark Star - Hophead (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
Weltons - Old Cocky | 4.30 | Not Tried | |

Afternoon visit as 3rd stop on a leap year birthday bash bus trip for ChrisE. A surprisingly good buffet set out on the covered pool table, unhealthy of course but superb!
Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Copper Top | 4.10 | | |
Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Red Top | 3.80 | | Hazy and must have been one of the last of a cask. Not off but an effort to finish and I failed at that |
Tonbridge - Union Pale | 4.70 | Not Tried | |
Ripple Steam - Farmhouse Pale Ale | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
