Afternoon visit, I discovered that I had won a prize in the pub's Easter charity raffle. All the takings from cask ale sales were being donated to charity today.

Late afternoon refreshment stop after a lively ride back on a preserved ex Southdown Leyland Leopard 273 AUF. We shared a couple of delicious and most welcome pizzas to accompany our beers.

| Old Dairy - Copper Top | 4.10 | | A fresh cask on today, a good malty pint but perhaps just slightly too cold. |

Fairly quiet and relaxing. The heavy external doors are kept closed during the winter months which can make the pub look closed.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Old Dairy - Red Top | 3.80 | | Too cold for my liking. |

Late afternoon fairly quiet. Lighting dimmed to a pleasant level compared to the usual surgical enviroment.

|---|---|---|---|
| Old Dairy - Red Top | 3.80 | | Served brain freezingly cold gave this an iced tea flavour not normally associated with this beer. |
