Arrived before 4pm and already very busy. Just enough beer to see us through to nearly last knockings.

Queued to enter...as usual a lot of advertised beers not on yet so just choose from what I could find wandering around. Enjoyed the Bigos (Polish hunter's stew) again!

The pub is found in Battersea, Greater London, SW11 5TN.

Held in the main hall of the Battersea Arts Centre. Central stillage area dispenses beer as the casks are ready. Decent UK list with a very good foreign bar. Cider bar and more seating downstairs. Easy to access from Waterloo/Clapham Junction.

We have visited this pub twice, seen 16 different beers and tried them all.
