| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - ESB | 5.50 | | Rather creamy |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 |  | Rather chilled but there again who knows what London Pride should taste like anymore, I certainly don't |

Evening visit, another good rock tribute band. One dancing gentleman came a nasty cropper with a backwards fall.

Evening visit. As always a good tribute band blasting out.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | | The marking dilemma for LP is now that I have no idea what it should actually taste like, being so varied and yet so seemingly bland |

The pub is found in Bromley, Greater London, BR1 1HE.
Fuller's Ale & Pie house now operated independently by a leaseholder, in a grand converted High Street (north end) bank in the heart of Bromley, attracts the quieter, older clientele in a town overrun by gobby yobs. Good sized ale range all from the Fuller's stable. Food is decent too. Large sceen TV useful for sporting events. The other Fuller's pub in town, Barrel & Horn (formerly The Tom Foolery), is just yards up the road. Large red brick built former bank which retains the ornate circular tiled entrance hall. 1 long bar counter to the right equipped with 6 handpumps with compartmented booths opposite. A small club room to the front with wooden panelling. Another room of seating at the rear. 50p per pint CAMRA members' discount on cask ales.
We have visited this pub 46 times, seen 68 different beers and tried 16 of them.
