Early evening for a pint and a sausage roll. Great cask beer selection.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| By The Horns - Tropika | 4.50 | | Hazy gold. But must be flavoured too to get so much coconut and pineapple taste. |
| Twickenham (also uses sub-brand Old Hands) - Summer Sun | 4.40 | Not Tried | |
| Volden - Pale (formerly Pale Ale) was 4.6% | 4.20 | Not Tried | Badged here as Hamlet Pale. |
| Volden - Session (or Session Ale) | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Brick - Peckham Pale | 4.50 | Not Tried | |
| By The Horns - Mild | 3.00 | Not Tried |

Evening until midnight close. The very best of Antic pubs, just a poor selection of real ales due to "ordering difficulties" last week. A Lilley's Somerset Scrumpy Dry rounded off the evening and my oh my was it dry.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Twickenham (also uses sub-brand Old Hands) - Naked Ladies | 4.40 | | |
| Brick - Peckham Pale | 4.50 | | Hazy and a monotonous citrus taste soon came through |
| Volden - Summer | 4.20 | Not Tried | Ran out |

The pub is found in East Dulwich, Greater London, SE22 8EW.
A large and prominent pub at an important road junction and a few minutes’ walk from East Dulwich railway station in Lordship Lane. Part of the ever-growing Antic empire. Several distinct drinking and dining areas. Of note is the very decorative floorboarding with variously patterned tiled squares between. 10 handpumps on the bar counter. Transferred from Antic to Urban Pubs & Bars in late summer 2024.
We have visited this pub 7 times, seen 27 different beers and tried 8 of them.
