Late evening visit. Very rare to see a manual customer ejection here but there was one tonight.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | | Once again good in every way but for a caramel taste which, for example, was missing in Abbot at nearby The Edmund Halley over the last weekend |

Evening visit across midnight. All seated service so I sat as near the bar as I could and had to go to the bar everytime to make card payment as there are no portable card payment machines here.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | | Seems very good to me with quite creamy texture but old English bitterness. Stuck to the one selection having seen the alternatives. |

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 537 times, seen 814 different beers and tried 359 of them.
