Evening until midnight close. Cask range failed to tickle fancies so a festival Snails Bank Rhubard cider did but gave a massive sugar rush.

Late evening visit just straddling midnight.

Greene King - IPA (was 3.6%)3.40GoodAt £1.99pp and having replaced Greene King Ruddles as the cheap staple here I thought I'd try it. Condition good, no extreme tastes but very palatable

Sambrook's - S.S.B Special Bitter5.00GoodA heavier brew than the usual Sambrook's recipes
Adnams - Uiltje Mr Feathers4.90UndrinkableNot sure what this should be like but sure it was not meant to resemble a brew from Mr Murk's. Total soup swapped with good grace, I turned the pumpclip round, hoping no more is sold the next day!

Website.

The pub is found in Lewisham, Greater London, SE13 6JP.

A busy pub in Lewisham High Street that's small by Wetherspoon's standards. Bookshelves around internal pillars make views across the floor difficult. A bit like a chameleon it changes clientele during its long day, attracting market folk whilst the street market is open then a mixed group of faces later on. Here staff do get to know their customers. Sports 2 banks each of 6 handpumps.

We have visited this pub 537 times, seen 814 different beers and tried 359 of them.
