Lunchtime and we got there just before 1pm so it wasn't too crowded. Got the window seat and then half the department turned up.

Went at lunch time for a friends leaving do. It was packed inside so we sat in the 'garden' which was about 25m by 3m's of concrete glory. Still, it was nice when the sun was out.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Shepherd Neame - Spitfire (or Spitfire Amber Ale)4.20ExcellentI think Shepherd Naeme have upped their game. This was excellent. Very fresh and full of live with the unmistakeable sheps flavour.
Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%)3.40GoodA good pint of greene king IPA. Had a bit of bite with good sweet malt on the finish.

Friday lunchtime quick half for Tristan's birthday. The pub has a good cosy atmosphere generated by low lighting and a dark pine interior. Friendly and busy.
