Late afternoon busy around the bar area where the usual throng of jovial locals gather, we ventured to the beer garden and made use of the one table being generously shaded by a tree.

| St Austell - Proper Job | 4.50 | | Citrus, grapefruit and pineapple flavours balanced with a crisp, bitter finish. |

Lunchtime cycle meet. We sat in the garden and agreed about sport but argued about geopolitics. Good session. Ales now at £5 a pint.

| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - ESB | 5.50 | | Another old favourite that I haven’t seen on pump for a while. This was near the end of the barrel but in fine form. |
| Harvey's - Sussex Best Bitter | 4.00 | | Spot on this regular here. Would have given it another star if I hadn’t had to ask for it to be topped up (it was, grudgingly). |
