02 Mar 2023 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit. Just a few in but they were all chatty.
Bristol Beer Factory - Milk Stout | 4.50 | | Probably the very best of this ale I have had anywhere |

10 Jan 2023 (Philip Pirrip)

11 Aug 2019 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until 9pm close. Good banter about the Plumstead Common "Idlers" group of local pubs and what this new house should be - someone said The Plum Tree that was never stoned.

02 Aug 2019 (Philip Pirrip)
Mid evening visit. Busiest I have seen it so far. Have concluded from noise and voices echoing that noise baffling on ceiling or walls is required here. Someone brought some chips in to eat at a table, time to move on.
Anspach & Hobday - The Pale Ale | 4.40 | | Cool and refreshing |
Mad Squirrel (formerly Red Squirrel) - London Porter | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
One Mile End Brew Co. (formerly Mulligans at the White Hart and then WH Brew Pub) - Mango & Cash | 4.80 | Not Tried | |
26 Jul 2019 (Philip Pirrip)
Mid evening visit.
Husk - IPA | 4.70 | | Slight haze. Initial promise dissipated a bit. Good to see an English style bitter with no citrus |
Salopian - Hop Twister | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
Bristol Beer Factory - Milk Stout | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
One Mile End Brew Co. (formerly Mulligans at the White Hart and then WH Brew Pub) - Mango & Cash | 4.80 | Not Tried | |
22 Jul 2019 (Philip Pirrip)
Mid evening trip, my first here. I did notice that a majority of newbie customers who seemed uncertain what to order were offered samples of keg rather than cask beers.
Wiper and True - Pale Ale Kaleidoscope - Simcoe Mosaic Citra | 4.20 | | Could have done with more condition / natural carbonation but good on taste |
One Mile End Brew Co. (formerly Mulligans at the White Hart and then WH Brew Pub) - Mango & Cash | 4.80 | | Murky as a scrumpy. Little if any sweetness from the fruit. Poured quite flat and with no natural carbonation |
Bristol Beer Factory - Milk Stout | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
Burning Sky - Plateau (was 3.5%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
Arbor Ales - I Speak for the Trees | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
