Lunchtime, about 1:30; as many in here as in the New Inn. Freebie roasties and sausages went down well., as did the price of a pin, £4. . Still majoring on Wantsum ales.
Wantsum - One Hop Columbus | 4.00 | ![Acceptable](/images/3star.gif) | Not impressed, a bit bland and little life. |

3 weak wantsum beers on this wet, windy miserable lunchtime. All £4.
Wantsum - Imperium | 4.00 | ![Good](/images/3-5star.gif) | Caramel notes and quite fresh. |
Wantsum - 1381 | 3.80 | ![Acceptable](/images/3star.gif) | Quite ordinary with no distinct flavours. |

Early afternoon. Kev the Pickle holding court. Landlord and landlady in. We got some gratis roasties and sausage bits. Great ambience.

Wantsum - One Hop | 4.50 | ![Good](/images/3-5star.gif) | One Hop Crystal at 4.2.
Pleasant enough. |
Wantsum - Imperium | 4.00 | Not Tried | Is this becoming a Wantsum unofficial tie? |

Lunchtime. Busy. We got the window seat though - and some free nibbles. Nice. Shame they only had Wantsum ales on - I like the brewery, but I also like a choice.

Swift one in passing, late afternoon, only one other customer in.8I was recognised and warmly welcomed. Apparently Minster had a shotgun incident on Monday night. Thought it was a quiet little village.
Wantsum - Imperium | 4.00 | ![Acceptable](/images/3star.gif) | Very ordinary and rather flat. |
Goffs - Jouster Ale | 4.00 | Not Tried | |

Early afternoon. Popped here on my own as a break from the New Inn. Got into conversation with a familiar face who seemed to know most of my favourite haunts and was aware of this site - mentioned Ian, Philip Pirrip and Chris Excel. He goes by the name of Kev the Pickle among other monickers apparently. Great chat. All ales @ £4.00 a pint.

Mid afternoon - as we were at the New Inn it would have been rude not to have had a cheeky one here as well. My fellow cyclists were suitably impressed.

3 Wantsum beers on, £3,50 a pint, £2 a half. 12 people in on a Friday afternoon. Came in to avoid the rain.
Wantsum - Imperium | 4.00 | ![Good](/images/3-5star.gif) | Interesting flavour. |
Wantsum - Hurricane | 4.50 | ![Good](/images/3-5star.gif) | A little flat but drinkable. |

Early evening, busy, friendly. Cash only. Landlady explains that a cask of Wantsum is so much cheaper than Gadd’s - hence the dominance of Wantsum here as she tries to keep prices down. £3.50 and £4 for stronger beers.
Wantsum - Hurricane | 4.50 | ![Acceptable](/images/3star.gif) | A little cloudy but drank ok. |
Wantsum - Imperium | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
Wantsum - More’s Head | 3.70 | Not Tried | Chalked up as 3.8% |
