A busy Friday evening but the volume from the televised football game was so loud that I wonder whether nearby pubs could have managed with their sound systems muted. People were having to shout whilst trying to converse. The food looked good and I was hungry but owing to noise I decided to head for the Parcels Yard.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Banks's - Young's London Original (was Bitter) - previously brewed in Bedford and at Wychwood | 3.70 | | A good pint of Young's Ordinary. I wish Dosser had been here to witness me paying £5.05 for a pint. |

You know how some pubs these days print lists of cocktails and put some rather fanciful, optimistic prices beside them? Well here, tonight, was a group of people actually drinking the stuff and looking a bit worse for wear. I tried, but failed, to imagine a group of aging gangsters sitting in a quiet corner here, plotting the Hatton Garden diamond heist.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sambrook's - Pumphouse Pale Ale | 4.20 | | Golden, and served with a big, creamy head. An easy-drinking Pale Ale in good condition. |

Easter Sunday mid afternoon - late lunchers with quiet, discrete football being shown.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Big Penny (formerly Truman's) as of late 2022 contract brewed - Runner | 4.00 | | Good condition but rather bland and a sweetness that was almost sickly. |
| Eagle (formerly Wells & Young's, formerly Charles Wells, formerly Wells) - Bombardier (was Bombardier Glorious English) (use Eagle entry now please) | 4.10 | Not Tried |
