Arrived just after 7pm and it was very pleasant. In the past I've only been here on weekends when it's been heaving and not very relaxed. Tonight it was great. Plenty in but not 3 at the bar deep as it seems to be at weekends.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Goacher's - Real Mild Ale | 3.40 | | We got 1 pint before it went off. It only went on yesterday lunchtime. Cracking stuff |
| Goacher's - Fine Light Ale | 3.70 | | Replaced the mild. Cracking light |
| Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 7 | 3.80 | | Just come on apparently. Really nice stuff. |
| Dark Star - Hophead (brewed by Fuller's) | 3.40 | | Hugely drinkable. Really happy, and in great condition |
| Adnams - Southwold Bitter | 3.70 | Not Tried |

A stop for some goulash soup and beer. Anybody who likes goulash soup should come here and enjoy a pub with good beers and atmosphere as well. the front area was full so we sat in the small area at the back. I did not make a note of all the beers on offer.
