Evening visit. Never really take to this place as far too corporate in outlook and service. CAMRA discount only attraction.

Evening visit. Fair dos for cask ale offerings but this is a very corporate boozer at heart still.

Dorking - Aldhurst Original3.50GoodDistinct bitterness, inevitably thin at low ABV but held little head or lacing

Mid evening visit to this more premium priced Wetherspoon type of pub in the High Street area of equally busy entertainment venues. Too much loud music to encourage conversation or deep thought. Impressive range of handpumped ales though was a good sign.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Settle - Ribblehead Bitter3.80ExcellentIn surprisingly good condition, better than expected from a venue of this sort. Price is before CAMRA discount - handed over 50p voucher but seemed to get 49p off - confusion over 50p or 10% off = 49p?
