Evening visit until close. Lowest band night attendance I have seen here. The rock tribute band seemed to being riffing just for itself at times.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - ESB | 5.50 | | A nice drop to act as a chaser for a 2025 bottle of Fuller's Vintage Ale |

Late evening visit until close. The tribute rock band's female lead singer tonight reminded me of Grace Slick's voice.

Late evening visit until close. Tribute reggae/ska band amp was just too high and distorting.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - ESB | 5.50 | | Good but unspectacular. Once again served as a Fuller's Vintage Ale chaser |

Evening visit until extended midnight close. Reggae tribute band stopped at 1140! Looks like 20p pp extra on draught since last visit.

Evening visit until close. Tribute rock band with a very confident loud lead singer.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - ESB | 5.50 | | Good but uninspiring, its role was as a chaser for a bottle of Fuller's 2025 Vintage Ale |

Evening visit until close. I had no idea about many of the songs the tribute band was playing. The Fuller's ESB purely provided a chaser to a bottle of Fuller's 2025 Vintage Ale.

Evening visit until close. Sat in back room quietly away from the hubbub of the main bar area.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - 180th Anniversary | 4.70 | | Pretty tasteless apology for an anniversary occasion and held little if any head or lacing. Bought to be a chaser to a bottle of the latest 2025 Fuller's Vintage Ale which was a superbly 5* well balanced experience itself |

05 Jul 2025 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until close. I knew little of the live tribute band's songs.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - ESB | 5.50 | | A half purely as a chaser for a bottle of Fuller's 2024 Vintage Ale. I was warned the bottle was the last of the 2024 stock the pub will have (weeps) |

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.
