29 Dec 2023 (Magnus Greel)
Late afternoon and busy as expected I met a group of friends already here and they had fortunately bagged a table. We had intentions of heading off to some 'real' pubs but decided to stay put until our late evening depature home. Once again enjoyed the superb freshly cooked pizzas which made the perfect beer fodder! I've omitted bothering to list the usual boring national blands available.
Portobello - JPA | 4.20 | | Pale ale brewed with whole leaf Japanese Green Tea. |
Portobello - Sauce on the Side Cranberry Sauce Stout | 5.20 | | Heavily flavoured with cranberries made for a dangerous fruity broth. |
Twickenham (also uses sub-brand Old Hands) - Naked Ladies | 4.40 | | My friend questioned this as flavourless and bland to which I stated 'that's how its meant to taste'! |
Portobello - Autumn Red | 4.40 | Not Tried | |
Portobello - Crown Jewels | 4.80 | Not Tried | |

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.
Twickenham (also uses sub-brand Old Hands) - Naked Ladies | 4.40 | | Completed my pizza perfectly. |

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.
