Late evening visit until midnight close. If this place can keep to its hours why can't the Jolly Woodman at Beckenham I asked myself many times. Cares more for its customers I suppose.

Windsor & Eton - George4.00AcceptableDescribes itself as a New English Ale whatever that means. Fobbed awfully on pouring. Tasted fresh, too fresh

Evening. 2 minutes too late for open doors. Stops serving at 2300 in a most un-'Spoon's-like way.
