Busy Saturday for 1st hour of serving in the day from 12 noon. Warm welcome and service. Of six casks on, one was actually key keg on closer examination of the blackboard, the Floc Tideland, and only two were above £4.50 and then only £5.00.
BeerABVScoreNotes
Five Points - Derailed Porter5.20GoodMarked up as 5% on blackboard. According to Five Points, it ranges from 5.2-5.5% ABV. Very reasonably priced and for London at £4.00 a pint. Good head and lacing. Chocolatey first hit and a pleasantly dry, bitter, moreish mouthfeel.

Floc. - Tideland6.50Not TriedDescribed as key keg if you study the blackboard carefully and only £5.00 a pint for that strength.

Late Saturday evening and very busy, this was my first visit here and it was worth the effort. Camra discount was given automatically as the guv assumed correctly that I am a member.

Evening visit until however close is defined here. Advertised closing time was 11pm but no one was served after about 10.40 and 11pm, in fact, related to when the venue had to be vacated.

Evening until close. Packed with a 50th birthday celebration for a Duncan. Suggested the CAMRA discount poster was more prominently sited as I missed out on it for one.

12:30 My first visit. Impressed. Ticked all my boxes for how a micropub should be. Friendly, cosy, good choice of beers, and got talking to other drinkers. Plus a CAMRA discount.

The pub is found in Petts Wood, Greater London, BR5 1LA.

Micropub opened 23rd May 2014 at 209 Petts Wood Road, just round the corner from Station Square, which was formerly Bradleys Wine Bar. Predominantly Kentish beers sold. Also offered are wines and ciders and cold cheeses and meats. A much needed and welcome alternative in the village of Petts Wood. A charity fine is levied for mobile phone use inside. A wide wooden bar counter, behind which is a temperature controlled cellar room and you can watch your drink being poured on gravity dispense through the door's window. Jugs are in use for larger orders. High tables are located around the walls. Pavement seating under a shop awning for finer days. As at June 2014 closed on Mondays. CAMRA Bromley Branch Pub of the Year 2015, 2016 and 2022. CAMRA Greater London Regional Pub of the Year 2015. Beware that some closing times advertised are when you must vacate the pub by, not when you may order drinks up until. If planning a late visit phone ahead and ask bar staff upon arrival.

We have visited this pub 35 times, seen 105 different beers and tried 49 of them.
