Afternoon into early evening sat in the main, front bar.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Salt Beer Factory - Pashmina | 6.20 | | I think this one probably came from a keg of some sort. It is a lightly-roasted, creamy, malty Stout. Dark berry fruit flavours develop as the pint goes down. Very good. |
| Bone Machine (originally cuckooed at Turning Point) - I, of the Storm Kalamansi | 6.20 | | A rather sticky IPA with abundant fruit flavours. Lime and apricot. |
| Adnams - Lighthouse | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Nene Valley - DXB | 4.60 | Not Tried |

Busy. Modern pie shop motif. A number of dining areas weaving around the building.
