Last night’s venture
into the Peacock at Forhill was an attempt to catch up on my Cask Marque ale
trail. There were rumours of the pub being owned by Greene King; but on my
arrival the ‘Chef and Brewer’ motif on the umbrella soon put paid to that. The
beer range on the bar meant that it was certainly to be a quick survey stop, as
Greene King Indian Pale and Speckled Hen were alongside Marston’s Help the
Heroes beer; not a great selection. I pondered my choice in the gents as the
barmaid was serving a group of diners; and slid across the floor on my way out.
When I returned to the bar; it was a young chap who served me; which resulted
in a pint being poured even though I recalled clearly ordering a half-pint.
Their price system seems strange; £3.47 was requested; which was reduced to £1.47
when the barman identified his mistake. Nevertheless; I sat in the uninspiring beer
garden and gave my friend a quick call while I guzzled through this beer stop.
