Ah ha I have found the daytrippers and holidaymakers at last. 1945 visit and the place was basically packed with just about every seat taken. Must be the price thing but a good range of real ales helps - bars on the Esplanade take note. Why no Island brews though????????
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hanlons (formerly O'Hanlon's) - Stormstay | 5.00 | | At £2.15 pp for this strength can see the attraction of the venue. A top up request ended in a snatch at the handpump which added little if any beer - ho hum |
| Eagle (formerly Wells & Young's, formerly Charles Wells, formerly Wells) - Courage Directors (use Banks's entry now please) | 4.80 | Not Tried | |
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Elgood's - GSB (Greyhound Strong Bitter) | 5.20 | Not Tried | |
