Evening until 11pm close. A refugee having found The Door Hinge in Welling closed early Bank Holiday-wise. A gem of a back street house that must be irked that its former regular local CAMRA branch Pub of the Year status has been usurped somewhat by the domination of local micropubs.

Evening visit 'til close. You are strongly recommended to make the trip here for beer quality and old fashioned suburban classy street-cornered-ness.
