Early evening fairly busy with folk drinking dotted about everywhere and the associated hubbub of conversations. Seems such a waste of a decent pub with zero interest or enthusiasm for offering a decent beer selection. Welcome to Ashford! A chap at the bar reproached the barman for increasing the volume of the music. I couldn't help but smile smugly..
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | | Ice cold over sweet and too resinous. TOFTT as they say. |

Afternoon visit following a service at a nearby crematorium. Good friendly service but it was disappointing to find just one cask ale on.

Lunchtime - 3 tables of diners, smell of food. No-one behind the bar but I sat patiently for a couple of minutes when a chap started serving food, saying he would be with me in a minute. I gave up after he disappeared into the kitchen for the third time.

Early evening and busy, the drinkers outnumbered the diners. About 10 years since my last visit, is still a pub that does food, not a restaurant with a bar in situ.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Black Sheep - Best Bitter | 3.80 | | In fair nick tho a sweeter finish than I expected. |
| Adnams - Ghost Ship | 4.50 | | Slightly chilled made for a refreshing pint. |

I have lived within 3 miles of this pub for most of my life and never been in it. On the recommendation of a work colleague I came in on Bank Holiday Monday for a pint before lunch. Nice enough interior and fiendly enough welcome.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adnams - Broadside | 4.70 | | Either not pulled through from last night or slightly on the turn. The Adnams yeast and fruity malt did come through but there was a vinegar edge to it. |
| Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Banks's - Banks's (aka Original) | 3.50 | Not Tried |
