Lunchtime for a Xmas meal with my cycling group, the Potterers. My first visit here - separate restaurant are that we took over (24 of us). All very friendly and courteous staff. Shame about the beer “choice”, just one ale on at a time.

Impressive, smart and very busy place. Focused on food and families, but the ale was good.

Came for lunch. They were in the middle of a beer delivery when we arrived. The pub seemed quite busy at the bar but quiet everywhere else. My first beer was off so I took it back. The lady behind the bar thought that the recent beer delivery had shaken the barrels up too much. Anyway she replaced the beer.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| Black Sheep - Best Bitter | 3.80 | | Not in great condition. |
| Black Sheep - Best Bitter | 3.80 |  | Vinegar and cloudy. Took it back and got another. |

Absolutely gasping for a pint, cycled around 20 miles by this point. I really like this place, it's got a really good chillaxed atmosphere.

Debbie had taken over the reins of the car by the time we reached here. It was mid-afternoon and only a few people in, but the atmosphere was good. Glad to see some Hopdaemon on.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hopdaemon - Incubus | 4.00 | | Dark brown and fruity. I like this beer, but it never seems to be the same twice. This was full of dark current fruit but lacked any real bitterness. Good without being great. |

The pub was busy preparing for the arrival of a wedding party so the dinning area had been cordoned off. The bar area was busy and a large, loud, TV was showing the rugby.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ventnor - Hippy High Ale | 4.40 | | A mid brown bitter. Basically it tasted of sherbet from start to finish. Quite pleasant |
| Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Wadworth - 6X | 4.10 | Not Tried |

Has the feel of a hotel lobby for some reason. Friendly enough but a bit impersonal.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Archers - Blonde Biker | 4.00 | | Pale gold beer with soft mouth feel. Quite appley with a sharp bitter and slight peanut finish |
| Archers - Slap & Tickle | 4.40 | | A best bitter. Good malt and slightly sickly syrupy hops. |
| Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Wadworth - 6X | 4.10 | Not Tried |
