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

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.

Evening until midnight close. Much quieter than usual 'til a small crowd arrived about 20 to close and ordered bottles of wine.

|---|---|---|---|
| Banks's - Bodebrown Brazilian Burton Pale Ale | 5.00 | | Great flavour, ran out and came out as sludge when I ordered a follow on pint so was really excellent to cask end |

Evening until just after midnight close. Pretty deadly beer range so a Thistly Cross whisky cask cider was imbibed instead.

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 542 times, seen 831 different beers and tried 362 of them.
