Not too busy to start with but picked up later. Great pub.
Goacher's - Crown Imperial Stout | 4.50 | | So much depth . Fantastic beer. Wonderful coffee flavours with a hint of chocolate. |
Goacher's - Best Dark Ale (aka Original) | 4.10 | | Fresh on. I can more or less guarantee that in 2 days time it will be cracking. |

Only four people in, sitting at the bar, so we had our pick of the seats.
Goacher's - Fine Light Ale | 3.70 | | Cold to start with, but as it warmed up a bit the orange flavours came through. Very nice. |

We came for the Goachers, but it had just finished. Old Man and the Sea was a decent consolation prize.

Late afternoon session. Started to fill up around 5pm. Lovely stuff.

Busy on this late afternoon visit but found a table for our party of four.
Chislet - Captain's Garden | 3.50 | | In fine form was this pale and made from Deal Hop Farm's Prima Donna hops. A pleasant floral and subtle marmalade flavouring. |

Well Light and Dark were on, so why wouldn't you pop in.
