Was in the area so decided to do a couple of new pubs for me, late afternoon visit not long after 5pm opening and fairly busy already. Despite pondering the many reports on here we decided to sit outside in the private garden area which is only accessible via the road and an anonymous gate, drinks being replenished via a serving hatch from the rear of the pub.
Dark Star - American Pale Ale (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 4.70 | | Slightly chilled and full bodied, superb |
Leeds - Leeds Pale | 3.80 | | Refreshingly chilled in superb condition |

Irving - Invincible | 4.60 | Not Tried | |

Early evening visit. ChrisE's visit report yesterday reminded me this house was on my bucket list. Tried both bars and they have a very much different feel. The meals being served in the saloon looked superb value, one piece of beef seemed to me to look like a small football! The 4p price difference between beers is quaint. The juiced up large Fremlins elephant on a high shelf and the 4 gleaming Tomson & Wotton brass wall plaques are items to covet.
Ramsgate Brewery (Gadds') - No. 7 | 3.80 | | |
Adnams - Broadside | 4.70 | Not Tried | |
Blindmans - Mine Beer | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
Salopian - 1000 yard-stare | 5.20 | Not Tried | |

Early afternoon, the Saloon Bar had a number of people enjoying their home cooked food, whilst I used the Public Bar because it is 4p per pint cheaper in there. The barmaid told me that this is now one of just two pubs left with differential pricing but could not tell me where the other one is except that it is up North somewhere. I was very impressed with how highly polished the Tomson and Wotton brass trays were, they put mine to shame.
