Busy both on the inside and out, but in pleasant rear yard there was seating to be had. Timed right for instant service from barmaid.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bishop Nick - Ridley's Rite | 3.60 | | Superb head and a thirst-quenching pale bitter with hoppy flavouring. |
| Hop Monster (Georges) - Mad Dog Black (was Mad Dog Mild) | 4.90 | | Great frothy head and full of maltiness in this fine mild. |
| Wantsum - Imperium | 4.00 | Not Tried | |

A good number of customers here mid-afternoon, including some rather boisterous pool players. Beer and breweries talk at the bar.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Farmer's Ales (Maldon Brewing) - Dark Horse | 6.60 | | A chestnut-coloured, sweetish, strong ale – almost a barley wine I think. |
| Wibblers - Providence IPA | 3.60 |  | I think this might be a house beer for this pub. Important to note that it is not an India Pale Ale, but an ‘East Anglia IPA’, which makes it a darkish, malty and slightly tangy bitter, rather than a pale hop-monster. |
| Oakham - JHB | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
