Early evening visit using the meeting room. Only Volden cask here - seems big come down from the days of a good range.

Volden - Summer4.20Not TriedA taster was appley and warm so unpalatable. I took the appley taste as a hint to try some cider!

Evening until just after midnight. Good band playing albeit I thought with some sound distortion, followed by 70s rock and pop tapes.

Just two other customers here a little after noon, with other potentials being put off by the lack of a Sunday lunch due to a no-show by somebody important in the kitchen. I was given a chocolate biscuit in compensation, which was a nice touch.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Gipsy Hill - Wayfarer4.60GoodA hazy, golden Wheat Beer. Not bad, but I’ve long wished that English breweries would be braver with their Wheat Beers and go the whole hog.

Late evening. Mostly empty, presumably as the students are away. DJ playing music of a genre I could certainly not name. Depleted beer range.
