Very busy on a late Saturday afternoon. Still a great pub, with an excellent choice of draught and world bottled beers. The pub brews its own ales, porter/stouts and lagers. Excellent place to visit
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Porter House - Plain Porter | 4.30 |  | Superb velvety porter with chocolate/coffee malts on nose and finsih, creamy in mouth and totally satisfying |
| Porter House - TSB | 3.70 | | Reddish brown in colour. Hops and fruity malt on nose, fullish in mouth with hops dominating on finish. Easy drinking session beer with the sticklebrat hops making that bit more interesting |
| Porter House - Chiller Lager | 4.20 | | Very refreshing lager. Nothing more to say really |
| Porter House - Wrasslers | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Porter House - Oyster Stout | 4.80 | Not Tried | |

Quite busy on a Wednesday for the football. This visit restored my faith in this pub after it was knocked last time I came by the impolite clientele and the poorness of the porter. However, in the downstairs bar, the barman allowed me to sample the Wrasslers XXX stout before serving a perfect pint of Plain Porter
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Porter House - Plain Porter | 4.30 | | Just so creamy and full of gorgeous malt flavours as to be a revelation from the very first. I keep fearing that the quality of this beer with cease to amaze me, but it hasn't happened yet |

This pub is huge, with multiple floors and bars and seating. Very busy on the night of a Chelsea match that could be watched on the projection screen in the basement bar. Serves its own beer and an excellent range of world beers
