Visits Details

First visit to this place and I was impressed, one of the more comfortable and atmospheric train station pubs I've been to. Very busy on a Saturday evening but staff were doing a good job getting everyone served.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - ESB | 5.50 |  | Might just be the best pint of this I've had. Often seems to lack condition in fullers pubs, at least in my experience. Top notch. |

Afternoon - usual large selection of ales ( only noted the non-Fullers). Usual exhorbitant pricing (£4.45 for a 3.8%)

A busy Saturday and a good range of beers on as usual, I have not attempted to list them all here.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - Chiswick | 3.50 | | Wow, it is good to see Chiswick on sale again, I think they have only brought it back as a seasonal brew. |

Evening. On shelves on the bar back the pub has bottles of Fuller's Vintage Ale, there is a year 2000 one on sale for £223 odd!

Evening visit permitted by chaotic train service delays. I give up sometimes - one barman was disgracefully short measuring cask ales but the customers I prompted to ask for a top up shrugged their shoulders and accepted a 35p - 45p shortfall as an inevitability.

Late Saturday afternoon - very busy - about 10 ales on as usual - didn't note all.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weird Beard - Little Things That Kill | 3.80 | | I really liked this - not as "violently hoppy" as the pump clip claimed - but very good all the same. |

18:44 We had been told that the Vintage Ale was on handpump. We were not disappointed. The pub was the usual bear garden.
