Evening visit until close. An impressive conversion from the previous incarnation here by Rachel and Stuart of the other Eltham Rusty Bucket. Good to see them slaving in their new venture.

Mid evening visit until close. Local restaurants packed but only 2 others in here then just me. 4 handpumps but "only 1 real ale at this time of year". Very friendly proprietor and bar staff.
