Visits Details
04 Sep 2021 (Philip Pirrip)
Late evening visit until close. I thought it was time to re-visit having been told of changes here. None I could see except Ronnie and Reggie, the lizards, have passed on and Kenny is new and in residence alone in his vivarium. Oh and a parrot in the top cage of a stack of birds' cages was looking in its mirror but remained silent. Met a chap I haven't seen for years and caught up on auld times.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Marston's - Pedigree | 4.50 | | 2nd out was cooler and fresher |
| Marston's - Pedigree | 4.50 | | Unusual to see Pedigree around these parts. First out for a while I thought |
| Twisted Wheel - Loud in the Crowd | 5.50 | Not Tried | Apparently brewed for the 2021 BREW//LDN 2021 event |

Latish evening visit. Darts match in full swing with the smell of the chicken bucket buffet prevalent.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Butcombe - Bitter (or Original Beer) | 4.00 | | |
| Holt's (see also Joseph Holt) - Two Hoots | 4.20 | | Took many pulls to fill the glass then one sniff was of Mr Sarson not Mr Holt. Barmaid acknowledged this immediately and swapped the beer with good grace |

Evening visit until 11pm close. I'd rather like to see local SE London and nearby Kentish brewery beers here.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Caledonian - Lions Share | 4.40 | | Citrus and uninspiring |
| Wychwood - Drophead | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| McMullen (sometimes latterly brand badged as Rivertown or Whole Hop) - Jolly Roger (branded as Whole Hop) | 3.80 | Not Tried | Not a sniff of true McMullen provenance on the clip |

Blimey....time flies...over six years since my last visit! 6pm. Same landlady I think, and no layout changes here at all, which is good. Alas, regional beers rule it seems.
We'd stopped off, en route home from the Valley, to console ourselves.....

My first visit here for a while. Not a lot has changed. Some new upholstery. A little less fly-blown. A few entertaining 'characters’ at the bar.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hop Stuff - Saisonniers | 4.50 | | Spicy, herbal, golden saison in perfect condition. Very tasty. |
| North Yorkshire - Yorkshire Porter | 4.40 | | A very tasty, black porter with a fruity edge and lots of roast barley. |

The pub is found in Woolwich, Greater London, SE18 6NE.
A cracking old pub, near to the Woolwich Ferry. At one time along-standing GBG entry albeit with some gaps. Goes by both names of Rose's Free House and the Prince Albert. Rare to see a vivarium with a lizard (at one time lizards) always keeping its/their beady eyes on proceedings. Located at the Woolwich Ferry end of Hare Street - an area in 2016 full of boarded up retail units ripe for redevelopment. The bar counter sports 6 handpumps but never all in use at one time.
We have visited this pub 18 times, seen 53 different beers and tried 30 of them.
