I went in here pretty much on spec and was very impressed. Very busy with roast dinner eaters at 4pm on Sunday and only a small number of us perverse enough to come in just for a beer or two.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Elusive - Sphere of Destiny (Pacific Gem) | 4.40 | | Golden and crisp. Fully focussed on the Pacific Gem hops. |
| Elusive - Frenzy | 4.30 | | Cloudy gold. A very soft mouthfeel and served a bit too warm. Fruity and bitter hop flavours. |
| London Beer Lab - Little Hopster | 3.80 | | A house beer for this pub. Hazy gold. Light and refreshing. Unusual hop flavours – I wondered even if it is a Green Hop beer. |
| Elusive - Swoop | 3.60 | | A clear, golden beer. Lightly hopped for a ‘Session IPA’. |
| Pig & Porter - Slave to the Money | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Pig & Porter - Blackbird Dry Stout | 4.00 | Not Tried |

The pub is found in Clapham, Greater London, SW4 7BZ.
Traditionally the Kings Head, this pub in Clapham Park Road was acquired by Antic after a string of unsuccessful theme-pub ventures. It then suddenly closed, in the way that sometimes happens to Antic pubs. It was relaunched as King & Co. in September 2014 and is now something of a champion of independent breweries. It is a mid-terrace pub in a residential area with a single room and patio seating at the front. There are six handpumps on the bar.
We have visited this pub once, seen 6 different beers and tried 4 of them.
