Evening until midnight close. A Thistly Cross cider sufficed and being last out of the bag required the barmaid to use scissors to get the last drops out!

After midnight early morning visit. Had to turn Thistly Cross cider clip round myself as not available, why can't Spoon's staff do this?

Pheasantry - Mikado Mild5.00GoodGood condition, but my palate found it like sniffing and licking a tin can - metallic

Evening until midnight close. Better guest beer range than for a long time.

Hop Stuff - Renegade IPA5.60GoodI had heard the recipe for this beer had been tweaked. Certainly this version had distinct floral hop notes which I don't remember previously

Evening until midnight close. Ditto to yesterday the imbibation of fermented apple juice trumped the poor beer range on offer.

Elgood's - GSB (Greyhound Strong Bitter)5.20Not TriedMy first choice only to be told, despite pumpclip showing, was not available. Justification for clip showing was that pumps would look silly with too many having no clip

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 539 times, seen 821 different beers and tried 360 of them.
