Swift pit stop for a half mid afternoon. A local said the pub had changed hands a few months ago and that the food was excellent. Looks to have gone a bit upmarket since my last visit but still a proper bar area for drinkers. One other ale on.

Afternoon visit on a warm and sunny day. The pub gave a lot of publicity about its Cask Marque accreditation but upon enquiry we discovered that the certificate was two years out of date.

Friendly and popular. We sat out in the garden to the side of the pub and watched two dogs squaring up to each other on the road opposite.

Haven't been in here for ages. Sunny afternoon, quiet and cool inside.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adnams - Fat Sprat | 3.80 | | Disappointing, no taste at all. Not tried it before but other people seem to rate it well. A one off perhaps. |

They were hosting beer festival over this weekend so we decided to come check it out. First time I've been to this pub and I was really quite impressed. Quaint village setting, friendly staff, lovely beer garden, and very good beer. The perfect afternoon.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Milestone - Black Pearl | 4.30 | | I really enjoyed this one. Rich and very dark. An authentic Irish stout. |
| Hop Back - Summer Lightning | 5.00 | | Light summer ale with a strong abv. Great on a hot day. |
| Hop Back - Entire Stout | 4.50 | | A strong flavoured stout. Lots of roasted malt dominate this almost one dimensional beer. Still good though. |
| Springhead - Nuts in May | 4.40 | | I was expecting a dark mild for some reason so was quite surprised when it turned out to be a pale ale. Hops and ginger with a little fruit. Really quite nice actually. |
| Hook Norton - Lion (aka Cotswold Lion) | 4.00 | | Very pale ale with a light citrus and hop flavour. |
| Woodforde's - Wherry | 3.80 | | I've heard so many good things about this one, but I've never been impressed. Bland, slightly creamy bitter. |

Fairly busy for late lunchtime, with several locals in.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wadworth - Farmers Glory | 4.70 | | Dark Mahogany colour, sweet with some hops,a nice pint. I would like to have tried it served without a sparkler. |

Very quiet on this Monday evening, we sat outside.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bryson's Brews - Hurricane Bitter | 4.10 | | A nice pint, pale copper colour, no head, tasty, some malt but not much hop and no finish. Not a great beer but would have liked another. |
