Evening until midnight close. The beer range lead me to quaff a cider named after some old steamroller or other.

Brief visit until midnight close to blow away cobwebs.

|---|---|---|---|
| Shepherd Neame - Amager Todd The Axe Man | 5.50 | | Citric notes but more subtle than the average lemon juicer |
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | Not Tried | |
| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | Since last visit 2 Doom Bar branded handpump handles have appeared here but I resisted this massive temptation to purchase, despite my quickened heartbeat |

Evening until midnight close. With just 3 Spoon's staples and 2 Truman's lemon juice beers on offer the choice of Thistly Cross Whisky Cask cider beckoned.

| Greene King - Old Spooky Hen | 4.50 | Not Tried | Obviously Greene King's attempt to vie with Wychwood Hobgoblin for the Halloween trade. But their trick of failing to state true brewing provenance at Greene King on the pumpclip meant there was no way I'd treat myself |

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.
