12:00 First stop for our monthly crawl. Quite an established 'Spoons having opened in 1997. Part was designated for diners, something I don't often see. The pub was busy but the nine of us managed to get a table.

BeerABVScoreNotes
Elgood's - GSB (Greyhound Strong Bitter)5.20ExcellentDark mahogany beige head badged as a bitter but more like an old ale to me sweet fruity malts give you raisins and caramel lightly hopped this is really excellent beer and at £1.90 a pint a real bargain
