Late evening visit. The barmaid tried to convince me she only had to serve 95% of a pint and then only added a begrudging one squirt pull as a top up. Training lacking here.

Just after midnight early morning visit. I have niot seen any micro-brewery ales yet in any 'Spoon's since the end of lockdown. Apart from Old Hooky a week or so ago seems all the corporate brewery beers are their mainstay, at least for now.

The pub is found in Lewisham, Greater London, SE13 6JP.
A busy pub in Lewisham High Street that's small by Wetherspoon's standards. Bookshelves around internal pillars make views across the floor difficult. A bit like a chameleon it changes clientele during its long day, attracting market folk whilst the street market is open then a mixed group of faces later on. Here staff do get to know their customers. Sports 2 banks each of 6 handpumps.
We have visited this pub 386 times, seen 719 different beers and tried 314 of them.
