10 Nov 2018 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until midnight close. A raucous but well behaved large stag party was hitting the stronger beers and spirits to well line the cash till.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| New Bristol - Maple Syrup Stout | 7.00 | | On another beer site someone described this as "Bleddy eck this is thick and good." From its after-effects I just wonder if 7% was an underestimate of its abv! |
| Gun - Red Ale | 4.40 | Not Tried | |
| Siren Craft - Vienna Pale Ale | 4.00 | Not Tried |
05 Nov 2018 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until 11pm close. The glacé cherries on some Bakewell Tarts given to bar staff were summarily removed and rejected as was much of the icing too, not leaving a lot left for them to munch!

Evening visit until midnight close.

11 Oct 2018 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until midnight close. 6 months (of opening) birthday party tonight, hence the later closing time, with all cask ales at £3pp and a good turnout all round.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kent - Green Giant | 6.00 | | Best I have had this year and this has been held back for some weeks before selling. Still a disappointment compared with earlier years' versions which had more body to them |

Evening visit until midnight close. Half of a keg beer and a share of a very strong Yankee bottle finished off the nightcaps.

The pub is found in Eltham, Greater London, SE9 5PR.
In Court Yard just off the High Street the former Crown pub has been part transformed following a wider development of the entire premises. A small bar, along the lines of the micropub style, which opened in April 2018 selling cask ales and ciders / perries served on gravity dispense from a cooled small walk-in cellar room behind the bar counter and with 18 keg beer taps on the back wall too. Seating is at trestle style tables and low chairs. The original ground floor pub frontage has been retained. Card payment only, no cash accepted.
We have visited this pub 101 times, seen 158 different beers and tried 86 of them.
