Royal George (Greene King)
Visits Details
27 Sep 2017 (Stephen Harris)
Very busy, long wait to be served, dreadfully short measure only begrudgingly topped up, excessively loud music, dirty tables. I could go on. Perhaps I visited at a bad moment.
Portobello - Westway Pale Ale (superseded by 3.8% version) | 4.00 | | Malty and a bit sharp and somehow did not seem quite right. |
Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
Hammerton - N1 | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
Southwark - LPA London Pale Ale | 4.00 | Not Tried | |

Greene King - Starry Night | 4.20 | Not Tried | Although there was room on the pumpclip for some flashing lights, there was apparently not enough room anywhere for the words 'Greene King'. |

Had planned to look at the magnificent bar back in the Rocket but the pub was wedged so came here and got a seat with ease. My first visit for many years. The marquetry panels surrounding the fireplace in the left hand side are noteworthy.
Southwark - Bankside Blonde | 3.80 | | Single hopped with mosaic. |
Big Penny (formerly Truman's) as of late 2022 contract brewed - Budburst | 4.20 | | Hazy but I gave it the benefit of the doubt. Started well but it was a struggle to finish the pint. |

London Fields - Broadway Blond California Pale | 5.00 | | |

02 Oct 2014 (Jack William)
Commuter time, busy.
Marston's - Revisionist Rye Pale Ale | 4.30 | | Very nice favour - but I was rather put off by the muddy appearance. That's a rye ale I guess. |

Timothy Taylor - Golden Best (was 3.5%) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
Westerham - 1730 | 4.00 | Not Tried | Just read the hype on this one - should have tried it. |

There were a handful of blokes outside the front door having a beer before they got on a train (judging by their suitcases). The inside was a bit quieter with a handful of people enjoying a quiet pint.
