Second pub in our Lewisham tour. I thought this was cramped for a JD's house and the guest beers seemed to run out quickly and not get replaced but other than that it was fine.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Salopian - Hop Twister | 4.50 | | Pale gold. Apple and bread yeast flavours with subtle grapefruit hops. Reminded me a bit of Harvey's Sussex Best |
| Wychwood (now brewed at Banks's) - Dog's Bollocks (aka Mutt's Nuts) | 5.20 | | Pale amber beer with thin white head. Thin flavour of weak malt and apple-like hops. |

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.
