Late evening visit to try out the JDW festival ales but just one on so poor show. Visit foreshortened as I smarted after being told the pub does not permit anyone to stand at the bar counter once served. Must be the only pub in the UK and with that anti-social rule made but not justified with a why. Comments thusly sent to Timmy.

The pub is found in Catford, Greater London, SE6 4AF.
Opened in 2000 as a conversion from a former shop this pub extends a long way back from its frontage to (a rarity for 'Spoon's) ground floor toilets at the very rear. 10 handpumps on the bar counter in 2 banks each of 5. Located in Rushey Green this Wetherspoon pub takes its name from the building's location, on what was once the coaching route between London and Rye (Sussex). No standing at the bar, after being served a drinks order, is permitted.
We have visited this pub 47 times, seen 97 different beers and tried 30 of them.
