After midnight early morning visit. Nearly stuffed as had been cash only since Friday with the card acceptance system down. Luckily I had £1.60 in coins for a £1.59 Ruddles Best distress purchase.

| Greene King - Ruddles Best (was 3.7%) | 3.40 | | After all the mocking this beer gets I was very pleased with this refreshing ale with good head and lacing even though forced into it as a distress purchase |

After midnight early morning visit.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Southwark - Potters' Fields Porter | 4.00 | | Distress purchase but did actually enjoy it, in fine condition and a dark, even burnt taste, porter |
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | Not Tried | Two clips showing, either end of the bar. Ordered, paid then turned out not on. Why do Spoon's do this slack customer unfriendly practice, but we know it will never change. Then the next issue was how could Spoon's refund the 20p back once a new choice was made at a lower price |

After midnight early morning visit. Everything seemed more organised here than usual.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Greene King - Abbot | 5.00 | | |
| Fyne - Substructure | 4.30 | | Good condition but not my thing. As hazy as hell and more sour than crisp or floral bitterness |

After midnight early morning visit until 1am close. Not unusual Spoon's trick of both GK Abbot clips showing but "None on" bar staff response. What is the matter with this chain on such basics?
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sharp's - Atlantic Pale Ale | 4.20 | | A distress purchase but in surprisingly good condition thus shutting up some of my angst about the Abbot no show |

| Sharp's - Doom Bar | 4.00 | Not Tried | |

After midnight early morning visit until 1am close. Mad obsession with exchanging glasses decanted into plastic when 1am + as "we have to get all glasses washed".

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 534 times, seen 807 different beers and tried 357 of them.
