Met a couple of friends here for a mid afternoon to early evening session, sadly just the one non national bland beer on offer we left once we'd finished the barrel off between us.

Mid Sunday afternoon busy with family groups in the front bar with others occupying the rear. Friendly efficient service with each pint served with no room to spare. I didn't bother including the usual offerings here.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lancaster - Red | 4.80 | | Not a fan of chewy 'red' beers but this was very good, smoky yet smooth and dry with hints of chestnuts. |
| Woodforde's - Wherry | 3.80 | | Not as watery as expected with the recognisable flavours coming through. |

As expected fairly quiet for a late Monday afternoon to early evening session and enjoy a few pints and a pizza, one is spoilt for choice thanks to Ashford's many superb real ale town centre boozers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marston's - Old Empire IPA | 5.70 | | |
| Exe Valley - Autumn Glory | 4.50 | | Rich ruby colour with a figgy toasted malt aroma and bran muffin cinder toffee flavours. |
| Oakham - JHB | 3.80 | | Rather tired and lacking condition, the cask was taken off once we'd voiced our displeasure. |
| Greene King - Abbot Ale | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | West country ales well represented tonight... |
| Greene King - Ruddles Best | 3.70 | Not Tried |

Very busy but we got a table and service was good.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Black Sheep - Monty Python's Dead Parrot | 4.10 | | |
| Shepherd Neame - Hop to the Future | 4.50 | | I was put off by the description of tropical and citrus fruit notes but I am glad that I tried it as it is not to citrusy at all. |
| Hook Norton - Off the Hook | 4.30 | Not Tried |
17 Oct 2021 (ChrisE)
Busy with a mix of diners and drinkers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wantsum - Imperium | 4.00 | | A short measure but as I was only paying £1.49 with a voucher I decided not to complain. |

Sunday afternoon with a good number of diners.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hook Norton - Old Hooky | 4.60 | | Too cold for my liking, otherwise O.K. |
