Evening until close.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Westerham - 1730 | 4.00 | | Bizarrely priced at £4.44 pp but more comfortably so at £4 after 10% CAMRA discount |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| St Austell - Tribute | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Florence - Trilby (branded as A Head In A Hat Brewing) | 4.00 | Not Tried | Stupid hanging tab says "Cask Conditioning". Same one still conditioning since a previous correspondent's visit one wonders?? |
| Big Penny (formerly Truman's) as of late 2022 contract brewed - Runner | 4.00 | Not Tried |

Busy in the early evening. Mostly lawyers by the look of ‘em. Money no object in these parts and it is a shock to find that my pint costs £4:40, even with the CAMRA discount. two other beers were available, but I forget which.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Florence - Topper (branded as A Head In A Hat Brewing) | 4.80 | | An ‘Indian Export Porter’, based on an 1808 recipe. Dark brown and a bit challenging. |
| Greene King - Hardys & Hansons Rocking Rudolph | 4.20 | Not Tried | A beer that claims to be from a brewery that no longer exists and which advertises itself with flashing lights on the pump-clip. Regrettably, there seem to be lots of takers for this sort of stuff. |

Early evening and the pub is quiet – it is now badged as a ‘Taylor Walker’ house. Only the 10% CAMRA discount bought the price of my pint below £4. For that money I expect tip-top quality, and I didn’t get it.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| London Fields - Hackney Hopster | 4.20 | | Hoppy golden pint served with a huge frothy head. Bland-tasting, had none of the usual character shown by this beer. Only just ‘acceptable’. |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| St Austell - Tribute | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| London Fields - Love Not War | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Cottage - Endeavour | 4.00 | Not Tried |
06 Oct 2011 (Martin the Mildman)
Fairly busy but comfortable on a Mid Thursday evening.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Camerons - Harvest Ale | 4.50 | | Sweetish and malty with little hop character and no really strong flavours. Faint hints of fruit in the finish. My score 14/20. |
09 Mar 2010 (Martin the Mildman)
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Springhead - Sweetlips | 4.60 | | Pale premium bitter with strong citrus hop character. Refreshing dry, hoppy finish. My score 16/20. |

Fairly quiet mid evening on a Monday.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Batemans - Miss Luscious | 4.30 | | Copper coloured bitter with mainly sweet, malty flavours. My score 14/20. |

Mid weekday afternoon and it was pretty quiet. The landlord was excellent, finding out what the Old Mill Bitter was and chatting to me about his pub and beers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Old Mill - Traditional Bitter | 3.90 | | Copper colour with thin beige head. Yeasty, traditional bitter. Proper bitter with yeasty solid character |
| Smiles - Drifter | 4.50 | | Copper colour with thin beige head. Some good hop, nice enough, some apple. Got this free, really nice landlord. The fruit is interesting, not much of a Xmas beer. Fine, OK bitter. |
