Evening until midnight close. Quite a few in who had been the exodus from earlier closing pubs.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wadworth - 6X | 4.10 | | Far too malty for me |

14 Aug 2016 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening until midnight close. Lacklustre beer range as in earlier after midnight morning visit but they had also run out of real ciders now.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Conwy (Bragdy Conwy) - California | 4.40 | | Condition good but don't know why anyone bothers as they can't beat Dark Star's classic archetypal version of American Pale Ale |
| Redemption - Big Chief (bottle conditioned) | 5.50 | | Had to try this to perk up the range here but it poured totally cloudy with very yeasty head |

After midnight early morning visit foreshortened by an uninspiring cask ale range, so a Cornish Orchards Pear Cider took preference.

Evening until midnight close. Last day on JDW cider festival and just two polys left with their udders well distended outside the boxes - ready to be finished off.

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 545 times, seen 836 different beers and tried 363 of them.
