A steady early evening trade it seemed. Even though I’m no longer much of a fan of Shepherd Neame beers, I do like this pub.

Early evening visit and busy. Always seems a very well-run pub.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shepherd Neame - The Faversham Steam Brewery - Whitstable Bay Pale Ale | 3.90 | | A crisp, tasty pint. Why is this beer so variable? Or is it the pubs where I drink it that are variable? |
| Shepherd Neame - Master Brew Bitter | 3.70 | Not Tried | |
| Shepherd Neame - Spitfire (or Spitfire Amber Ale) | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Shepherd Neame - Samuel Adams Blonde Ambition | 4.50 | Not Tried |

The pub is found in Aldgate, Central London, E1 8DE.
This pub was present by 1806 and the present building dates from around 1856 and is Grade 2 listed, although in recent times the pub has expanded into the more modern building next door. Formerly a free house, it was acquired by Shepherd Neame in the late 1980s, and was extensively refurbished following a fire in 1989. The bar space is in two halves, reflecting the fact that it originates as two buildings knocked together.
We have visited this pub twice, seen 5 different beers and tried 1 of them.
