Totally by chance I bump into my mate Dave who lives almost next door to this pub and we pop in for a quick one, sitting at the bar.
| Dark Star - Hophead was 3.8% (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.40 | | Sometimes has a bit more sparkle than this. Still good. |

Only my second ever visit here, and I had forgotten what a nice pub it is. Quiet in the late afternoon, with some laid back reggae on the stereo. The pub has links with the Hackney Brewery, but none of their beers on tonight.
| Dark Star - Hophead was 3.8% (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.40 | | Familiar beer with good flavour tonight, but served a little warm. |
| Windsor & Eton - Windsor Knot | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Windsor & Eton - Kohinoor Jubilee Commonwealth Indies Pale Ale | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
