After midnight early morning bus change visit. Once again a troublesome customer was "escorted" out of the doors, well managed by the Guv.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purple Moose - Calon Lân | 4.00 | | Tepid, suggest been in pipes a long time. A good few sloshes of lemonade made it drinkable, No off flavours |

The pub is found in Lewisham, Greater London, SE13 6JP.
A busy pub in Lewisham High Street that's small by Wetherspoon's standards. Bookshelves around internal pillars make views across the floor difficult. A bit like a chameleon it changes clientele during its long day, attracting market folk whilst the street market is open then a mixed group of faces later on. Here staff do get to know their customers. Sports 2 banks each of 6 handpumps.
We have visited this pub 534 times, seen 807 different beers and tried 357 of them.
