27 Feb 2018 (Philip Pirrip)
Late evening visit on re-opening day. Frankly apart from a preponderance of grey green pastel paint and a shortening of the bar counter not much to shout about. Handpumps now 4 when my records show there used to be 5. Too much fizz beer showing now.

| St Austell - Proper Job | 4.50 | Not Tried | |

| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Adnams - Mosaic Pale Ale | 4.10 | Not Tried | |

Evening until close. A large contingent of Blackheath Cricket Club lads were hogging the bar and embracing each other - hogging and hugging one might opine.
| Oakham - Citra | 4.20 | | Hurts somewhat at £4.30pp in suburbia |

Evening. Live band playing.

21 Jun 2015 (Philip Pirrip)

04 Feb 2015 (Philip Pirrip)
Late evening. Small band playing - great harmonica man. So sad to see even an independent family brewer like St Austell now plying fizz beer.

| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
20 Sep 2014 (Stephen Harris)
Brief, lunchtime visit. A large crowd is attending some sort of function at the rear of the pub; otherwise quiet.
| Sambrook's - Junction | 4.50 | | This beer is a bit too malt-heavy for me. In good nick here but over-chilled. |
| Adnams - Broadside | 4.70 | Not Tried | |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
