Evening visit until 11pm close. Much teasing about the 4 Pour brewery mis-spelling on the pin board. Also tried a Kernel Biere de Saison damson style keg beer at 4.4%, tongue striping sourness.

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 100 times, seen 156 different beers and tried 85 of them.
