Evening until close. A crowd in who say they are boycotting the nearby London & Rye 'Spoon's as they abhor its recently revised seating layout. Beer range here a bore so had a Thistly Cross "whisky cask" cider instead.

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.
