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 Mild | 5.00 | | Good 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 IPA | 5.60 | | I 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) | 5.20 | Not Tried | My 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 |

Evening until midnight close. After one real ale moved to a Thistly Cross cider.

| Southwark - Bermondsey Best | 4.40 | | Just about tasted OK but made unappetising by a broken scummy yeasty head. Shortly after I had finished mine another customer demanded a replacement for his |

Evening until midnight close. The grim beer range once more lead me up the Thistly Cross and Old Rosie cider routes.

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.
