Hiked along the Green Chain Walk to Eltham Palace. Seemed only right to stop in here for a pint before strolling back home. Sat out front on the wall in the evening sunshine. Must have been a busy bank holiday for them as sadly the TT Landlord, Harveys and Leffe had all run dry.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brains - The Rev James Original | 4.50 | | I used to really rate this beer, not quite so much nowadays. Mahogany, cool and refreshing with a Burtonesque malty tail - but I was really craving some ballsy hops. |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Marston's - Young's London Original (was Bitter) - previously brewed in Bedford and at Wychwood then Banks's | 3.70 | Not Tried | |

Stopped for a quick pint before dinner and ended up staying for a second. Good number of punters occupying most of the tables. We sat in tall-backed wooden chairs in a corner underneath one of the chandeliers (yes, chandeliers!) Friendly, chatty barman ensured we felt welcomed despite being unfamiliar to him. The owners have done a really good job here.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Timothy Taylor - Landlord | 4.30 | | I overlook this beer far too often. Glowing gold, big and hoppy with counteracting creamy sweet malts. A cracking ale which didn't suffer so much from the cool dispense. |
| Theakston - Old Peculier | 5.60 | | First cask OP of the season. Wintry winner, dark, moody malts. Is this the ideal cold January evening ale? Cellar must have been chilly as this was served a little on the cool side, though conditioning was excellent once it had warmed through. |
