Evening visit. Service seemed somewhat disorganised and still rather corporate but a better range of ales that I have seen here before.

|---|---|---|---|
| Hogs Back - Surrey Nirvana | 4.00 | | Rather thin but a first refreshing pint |
| Koomor - Trunk | 3.80 | | First time I have had this on handpump, quite creamy |

Mid to late afternoon, fairly busy but with the right kind of clientele made for a pleasant and relaxed stay.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Koomor - Trunk | 3.80 | | Malty yet bitter with hints of toffee for this complex tastebuds treat |
| Portobello - Platinum Pale Ale | 4.30 | | Dry and thin ale that packed a hoppy spicy kick |
| Koomor - Branch | 4.20 | | Light bitter and refreshingly hoppy |
| Portobello - Lovely Jubbly | 4.50 | Not Tried |

A eureka moment as I remembered this pub on the way to the bus stop for The Long Pond. Late afternoon in this underrated proper drinkers pub, quiet relaxed atmosphere to enjoy one's pint.

I had planned to take lunch here but was surprised to find the pub very busy at Tuesday lunchtime with no tables available.

Evening visit until 11pm close. Never really taken by this place - a corporate feel to service with what seems to be a pubco type ale range. Where is something from the several hundred London, Kent and Sussex breweries, except for the heavily marketed Truman's?

| Harvey's - Old Ale (or Sussex XXXX Old Ale) | 4.30 | | The fobbing on initial pump pulls and the metallic taste imply this had been in the pipes a while |

Cycled past here many times on my Chopper in the 70's. Now I'm old enough to drink here I have. Relaxed and fairly quiet mid evening atmosphere.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| West Berkshire - Screaming Eagle | 4.60 | | Hop flavour dominates with notes of citrus, spice and pine. |
| Wadworth - Espirito De Carnaval | 4.30 | | Spicy and peppery with a hoppy bitter finish. |

After a manic rush from work to reach Argos before it closed, the OH and I decided to chill out with a pint in the evening sun. This really is a lovely smart town centre boozer and feels like you could be a million miles away.

Hiked along the Green Chain Walk to Eltham Palace. Seemed only right to stop in here for a pint before strolling back home. Sat out front on the wall in the evening sunshine. Must have been a busy bank holiday for them as sadly the TT Landlord, Harveys and Leffe had all run dry.

| Brains - The Rev James Original | 4.50 | | I used to really rate this beer, not quite so much nowadays. Mahogany, cool and refreshing with a Burtonesque malty tail - but I was really craving some ballsy hops. |
