Late evening visit. A good live rock tribute band played Led Zeppelin's Ramble On, the only LZ song I know all the words to for a singalong.

A wonderful conversion of a former bank. Friendly and helpful staff, we wondered which of various discount schemes on offer would give us the best deal, we settled for a 20% off the entire bill voucher code rather than 50p per pint Camra discount and saved over £8 on the round. The kitty holder was a happy man. I did not make a note of all the beers on offer.

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 31 times, seen 48 different beers and tried 14 of them.
