Evening until midnight close. Waste of space cask ale range tonight so Thistly Cross whisky cask cider once more persuaded itself into my glass.

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

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.

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.
