Big Penny (formerly Truman's) as of late 2022 contract brewed - Black Eagle After Hours White IPA | 5.00 | | Clip said Black Eagle Brewery Ltd yet all indications are it is simply a Truman's beer. Apart from being a yukky banana tasting beer I am always annoyed by brand manipulation to hide true locational provenance. Apparently the After Hours range will be brewed by junior brewers at Truman's |

09 May 2016 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening until 11.30pm close. When I arrived I wondered if 11pm closing had applied as so few in. Then I was last customer at the bar and feeling under pressure to drink up and go then at 11.20pm 30 people turned up off a Thames meal cruise and a £190 tab ensued. Pub buzzing again.
