Early evening to watch football on TV. No other reason to visit this pub these days. No draft ale, no craft beers and not even a keg bitter. Had a bottle of Newcastle Brown and quite enjoyed the footie (even though Fulham lost).

The only pub Ian's ever been thrown out of - some 25 years ago for an accident with a coin. Today we sat on a wonky metal table.

sat afternoon - moderately busy - blue baize pool table with restricted access is a novelty. Just the one ale on with one more "coming soon".

Quiet before lunch on a Sunday.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Brains - Fir King Good4.00AcceptableLight brown bitter with little hop character and a faint maltiness. My score 14/20.

The pub was done up with halloween stuff plus some weird miltary-like netting thing on the ceiling. Gone were the comfy chairs by the window and the bench on which, years ago, Ian accidently flicked a coin over his head hitting a barmaid and earning himself a ban.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Shepherd Neame - Spitfire (or Spitfire Amber Ale)4.20GoodVery cold. Tasted reedy and of cain sugar. Quite nice but too cold.
Adnams - Southwold Bitter3.70Not Tried
