A nice cosy atmosphere, the Thai food seemed very popular in here tonight. A previous customer had left a season ticket wallet containing a debit card and Oyster card on our table, these were duly handed over to bar staff.

A busy Monday evening. The food appeared to be good value here. I am always impressed with just how good the Shep's can be in this pub.

Pub number four on a tour of Wandsworth's hostelries, it should have been number 6 but we forgot to check the opening times of the Crane and discovered that it does not open on Mondays and we took one look at the Kings Arms and decided it was not for us. I took the opportunity to read the food menu in here and was pleased to note that they do a good selection of sandwiches for £3 each, and the Thai and English meals appeared to be at affordable prices as well.

Shepherd Neame - Master Brew Bitter3.70ExcellentThe best pint of Master Brew that I have had for a very long time, delicious and nutty plus a full measure as well. This was also the cheapest pint of the evening.

Shepherd Neame - Master Brew Bitter3.70Not TriedI had a sip of this, it bore little resemblance to Master Brew as we know it. Gill said it was delicious with a wonderful toffee taste.
