Swift half just before 5 - not too busy but bickering staff meant a bit of a delay getting served.

Years since I was last in here. But I seem to have come on a bad evening for beer quality – on the plus side, at least at 6pm my pints were served in old-fashioned glass.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purity - Rivet | 4.00 | | Chilled and flat, but drinkable. |
| Adnams - Southern Lights Red Ale | 3.80 | | Cold, flat and thin-tasting. Juicy red fruit. Only a hint of the expected southern hemisphere hops. Will have to hope for a better example of this beer elsewhere. |
| St Austell - Nicholson's Pale Ale | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Robinsons - South Island | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Brains - Café Phoenix | 4.40 | Not Tried |

Evening. Quite wanted to visit here for old time's sake but upon being told I must drink from a plastic receptacle, departure quickly followed.
