15 minutes before train at Platform 13 - too easy to fall in here, not busy just before 5. Other ales not noted.

Mid evening busy, I found a table by the window and enjoyed one of JDW's excellent spicy meat feast pizzas with extra chillies, mushrooms and red onions. Ordered on the app and arrived a few minutes later with my beer, superb service.

Evening visit and comfortably busy. Good friendly service from the bar staff and the best beer of the day.

Late evening- 20 minutes until my train so I was tempted - and needed to celebrate Fulham’s 3-1 win that I had witnessed earlier.
Lost of other ales on - not noted.

| Portobello - JPA | 4.20 | | Fairly sure it was this JPA - first time I’ve come across a Japanese Pale Ale - very quaffable. |

A very swift half of something that I didn’t note en-route between underground and train home.
My LEJOG tour had been abandoned on Day 5 having ridden over 320 miles and getting a good lick on visiting new pubs. Gutted.
This place seems ok but I was in no mood to make notes.

Mid evening visit. Lucky to get a table. This place has completely captured the station's volume market. School of Hard Knocks vouchers were accepted with comment but good grace!

Early evening visit. Packed! All seats taken.
