Wasn't going to come here but walking past I was really impressed with the interior. What an interior! However, if you look at the ceiling you can see the simulated marble lino peeling. Still, if you don't look up you can pretend it's all real

Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - Gale's Spring Sprinter4.00GoodGolden ale brewed with Gale's yeast to give the characteristic biscuity and yeasty flavour. Sweetish with a fruity finish, bordering on a light mild in flavour. My score 15/20.

A short walk from Snow Hill station and time for a quick visit to an old favourite. Found here, not on cask, but keg, I sampled a wheat beer from Blue Moon Brewing Co from the USA. Not heard of before now. This was served with a slice of orange, and was so good, I had a pint. Superb. This place is good, albeit a bit pricey.
