Late evening friendly locals and a star of landlord expressing a superb dry witty SOH. I sat in the quieter left side bar while a more rowdy affair with folk watching football from the other bar.
Witham - No Name | 4.30 | | Full bodied traditional bitter with a hint of spice. |
Camerons - Brown Dog | 4.10 | | Luckily just a taster as prompted by the landlord, found this too sweet syrupy and cloying. |
Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |

Early evening visit and the pub is busy and boisterous. I go in the bar with marginally less ‘singing’. Some people have clearly been in for a while. Will have to come back another time to get more of a feel for the pub.
Bishop Nick - Witch Hunt | 4.20 | | Top quality, luscious, black Porter. |
Witham - No Name | 5.20 | | Is there more than one beer with no name brewed here I wonder? Mine was clearly marked as being 4.3%. It was a straightforward, quaffing Bitter. |

11:30 - 14:45 Yet another gathering of old railwaymen. An excellent time was had by all. A visit to the micro-brewery behind the bar was an added bonus.
