Every residential neighbourhood deserves to have a lovely boozer like this to use as a local – unfortunately, very few are so lucky.

Evening. 1st visit having read justified good reviews. Excellent wide range of ales for a SE London suburban house with a clearly good following. Motivated, friendly, knowledgeable bar staff and they coped well with the England football match crowd in for 2300 kick off. As a hors d'oeuvre for the football a brass quartet of 2 trumpets, 1 trombone and a tuba entertained the throng.

| Tonbridge - Coppernob | 3.80 | | Too fresh |
| Hop Stuff - Fusilier | 4.30 | | Caramel smell and an appley aftertaste. A disappointment |
