Lunchtime cycle meet. 10 of us helped improve the rather slow lunchtime trade. Friendly welcome, dry pleasant garden.

Lunchtime cycle meet, 11 of us. We swiftly drank the Mad Goose dry and it was replaced by Deuchars.

Lunchtime cycle meet on a cold day. We sat at the long table by the inglenook fireplace with a welcoming log fire on the go.

Swift visit, early evening. A few in the bar, most tables reserved for meals. Has retained its old world charm. Just the one ale on, but well kept.

Thursday evening - about a dozen customers but well spread out in the 3 areas. Bit food oriented.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wantsum - One Hop Premiant | 4.40 | | Nice and clear - but a very bland beer in my view and a faint whiff suggesting it was past its best. |
| Old Dairy (being contract brewed after it closed) - Copper Top | 4.10 | Not Tried |

Best pub of the night - good few drinkers round the bar as well as some diners - but not dominating the ambience.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mad Cat - Golden IPA (previously Meaney's Golden India Pale Ale) | 4.20 | | Bordering on the exceptional - terrific condition, flavour and body mmmmm |
| Shepherd Neame - Master Brew Bitter | 3.70 | Not Tried |

I've never been here before and for some reason I thought the pub would be a bit run down. It wasn't. It was very nice and the landlord was very pleasant. We sat in the garden at the rear and had lunch.

Only two other people in other than us. Sat in the beer garden with the ducks. The view really is fantastic.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eagle (formerly Wells & Young's, formerly Charles Wells, formerly Wells) - Young's London Special (was Special) | 4.50 | | Nothing wrong with this, just not a particularly great beer in my opinion. Malty with a little harshness. Drinkable enough though. |
