Kevin and I have been to see a (rare) football match at Kennington Oval, and call in here for a quick one after the match. Most customers are here for the food.

Everards (see entries against Joule's & Robinsons whilst its new brewery was being built) - Truman's Belt & Braces4.20AcceptableTruman’s are rumoured to now have a site at Hackney Wick in which to develop a brewery, but continue to brew at Everards in the meantime. I continue to find their beers rather disappointing. This one is golden in colour and somewhat insubstantial.

I had just enough time for a quick early evening pint here, on the way to watch the rain-affected cricket match nearby at the Oval.

The pub is found in Kennington, Greater London, SE11 5ER.

Once a rather shabby Watney’s pub in an insalubrious area, The Black Dog has moved substantially upmarket and now trades as a Freehouse. There is a single bar area, with wooden floorboards and wooden furniture. The bar itself is a simple affair, but with lovely stained glass behind. Alongside is an open-plan kitchen, with food served from breakfast through to late evening. There is a small yard at the rear, or parkland across the road for outside drinking.

We have visited this pub 3 times, seen 9 different beers and tried 3 of them.
