Late evening visit, deliberately back for more Hook Norton after yesterday's tasting.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hook Norton - Twelve Days | 5.50 | | Second pint just that much cooler and fresher |
| Hook Norton - Twelve Days | 5.50 | | Fine form but as you will see the second one cooler and fresher probably due to the long line pulls to the cellar |

The pub is found in Welling, Greater London, DA16 3PB.
Ex retail premises (NatWest Bank) in Bellegrove Road, decent and typical conversion, airy and on a number of different levels which includes a balcony area. Equipped with 2 banks of 6 handpumps. Re-opened in February 2016 after a fire over the autumn bank holiday in 2015. BEWARE sometimes seems to randomly apply a late night bar to entry well before advertised midnight closing time.
We have visited this pub 190 times, seen 389 different beers and tried 151 of them.
