I really like this pub and always try to fit this one in when I am in the area. In spite of the beer being £5 per pint this was the only pub where I stayed for a second one today. Just as well though as the guv very generously bought drinks all round so I had a half on him.
Mighty Oak - Captain Bob | 3.80 |  | |
Dark Star - Hophead (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.80 |  | |

I left our group in the Williams Tavern and made my way here. Mid evening and although busy the noise levels were low added to the ambience of the soft low lighting made a pleasant relaxing atmosphere. 10+ years since I last came here and not changed a bit. Superb boozer.
Mighty Oak - Kings (was 3.9% before 2013) | 4.20 |  | Warm and rather tired, lacking condition with little hop or citra-ness in the flavour. |
Otley - O1 Original | 4.00 | Not Tried | |

A lovely pub in a pleasant setting on a glorious summer evening. Yet the number of customers was not into double figures here at around 8pm.
Sambrook's - Lavender Hill (originally exclusively for Nicholson's) | 4.50 |  | A welcome return to London bars for this beer. Superb condition made this honeyed beer a real delight. |
Sambrook's - Watneys Pale Ale | 4.20 | Not Tried | |

Evening visit and both bars were open, some of the younger customers seemed surprised that you can not walk between the bars without leaving the pub. A splendid atmosphere in here tonight so I stopped for an additional pint.
Brentwood - Gold | 4.30 |  | |
Otley - O4 Columbo | 4.00 |  | |

Afternoon and already dark outside, this place was warm and welcoming. I had a good chat with the landlord who remembered me from previous visits.
Brentwood - The Poppy Beer | 3.70 |  | A good tasty session beer. |
Cottage - Medusa | 4.00 | Not Tried | |

A brief, early evening call. Only the main bar open.

I had been to the White Hart at Whitechapel only to find it closed,so I jumped on a bus to Mile End. I love this pub, but am not so keen on paying £4 for a pint. Cask ales were selling very well tonight.
Mighty Oak - Maldon Gold | 3.80 |  | |
Sambrook's - Wandle | 3.80 | Not Tried | Selling extremely well. |
26 Dec 2012 (Philip Pirrip)
Afternoon visit after a bus journey from Stratford at walking backwards pace as the Tube industrial dispute clearly pushed frenzied shoppers into their cars. All the time on the journey wondering will it be open or will it be closed. First visit here to an amazing family run free house. Lots of heritage and memories of past locals and happy times all in an area that must have been heavily bombed during WW2. We tried both bars.
Otley - O1 Original | 4.00 |  | A very light coloured golden ale. On each pint the initial very fresh hoppy welcome in the head soon dissipated to a rather appley taste. It was the surroundings which made the day |
Mighty Oak - Three Kings | 4.20 |  | OK but undistinguished |
