The Olde Wine Vaults (formerly The Vaults Cask & Kitchen) (Craft Union Pub Co. (part of Stonegate [formerly Ei Group itself formerly Enterprise Inns]))
In excellent nick. Price of £3.50 pp though was an upper quartile London price (yet this was The Sham) for an ubiquitous beer and the price hurt. Why so high?

Really quiet in tonight, apparently due to a congregation of chavs that had made a home for themselves outside the pub. Great pub though.

I usually walk past this pub, but I noticed that it now sports a Cask Marque sign so I decided to look inside. There are four handpumps dispensing three ales and a cider, and on this visit they were all from the county of Kent.
Deceptively large pub in Preston Street, with a small bar area at the front with a single handpump which is rarely if ever used, and a larger bar area further back with 6 handpumps, of which at least 1 always offers a cider. Raised area provides seating for meals. Once named Hole in the Wall then The Old Wine Vault and further re-named in 2014 to The Vaults Cask & Kitchen. Closed in spring 2019 when tenants left and there seemed to be a difficulty appointing new ones here, then converted to the Ei Group's Craft Union format and re-opened on 11th September 2019. Further change of name.
