11 Jan 2025 (Philip Pirrip)
Late evening visit until midnight close. Everyone seemed to know the lyrics of the rock tribute band's songs except me, OK I knew Wonderwall as the last song of the night.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - ESB | 5.50 | | Had better. Good enough to be a chaser for a bottle of Fuller's Vintage Ale 2024 |

07 Dec 2024 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until close. Lower footfall for tribute band than is often the case. Maybe some off-duty cast members from Snow White local pantomime were in.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - ESB | 5.50 | | Top form. I used a half as a chaser for a bottled 2024 Fuller's Vintage Ale |

23 Nov 2024 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until close. The tribute live band was so good I stayed put, lady singer sounded like Grace Slick. A bottle of 2024 Fuller's Vintage Ale lasted through the other ales tried.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Siren Craft - Broken Dream Breakfast Stout | 6.50 | | The best Broken Dream I have ever had |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - ESB | 5.50 | | Good but undistinguished |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - Gale's HSB | 4.80 | Not Tried | |

09 Nov 2024 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit. Always surprised how many rock songs these tribute acts play that I don't know the words to and everyone else here seems to.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - Vintage Ale (bottle conditioned) | 8.50 | | First try of the 2024 bottled and a warming mellow near wine |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - ESB | 5.50 | | Served as probably ESB should be served |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - Gale's HSB | 4.80 | Not Tried | |

21 Sep 2024 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until midnight close. Another very good tribute band playing, though I recognised perhaps only half of the songs.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - Vintage Ale 2024 | 8.40 | | 4½* Same 3rd cask as yesterday nearing the end |

Evening visit until close. A good buzzin' atmosphere.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - Vintage Ale 2024 | 8.40 | | 3rd cask since yesterday's launch and selling fast. Superb taste bomb with ideal head and lacing. There was talk of peach, lemon and spices but too complex for me to pick up such details |

14 Sep 2024 (Philip Pirrip)
Late evening visit until close. Once again a talented and loud tribute band was performing.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | | Best LP I have had for a long time. Oddly bitterer than the ESB tonight and it was drunk after the ESB too |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - ESB | 5.50 | | Very creamy texture, less bitterness than expected |
| Dark Star - Hophead was 3.8% (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.40 | Not Tried | |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - Gale's HSB | 4.80 | Not Tried | |
| Full Circle - Hoop | 4.80 | Not Tried |
25 May 2024 (Philip Pirrip)
Late evening visit. Standing at the bar with a tribute rock band's loudspeaker pointed right at me was too much so I migrated to the little snug room at the front.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - ESB | 5.50 | | Just as it should be |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | Not Tried | |

Evening visit with a tribute rock band with an overpowering drummer.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - ESB | 5.50 | | ESB at its best - the real flavours came out once my palate attuned |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | Not Tried | |

The pub is found in Bromley, Greater London, BR1 1HE.
Fuller's Ale & Pie house now operated independently by a leaseholder, in a grand converted High Street (north end) bank in the heart of Bromley, attracts the quieter, older clientele in a town overrun by gobby yobs. Good sized ale range all from the Fuller's stable. Food is decent too. Large sceen TV useful for sporting events. The other Fuller's pub in town, Barrel & Horn (formerly The Tom Foolery), is just yards up the road. Large red brick built former bank which retains the ornate circular tiled entrance hall. 1 long bar counter to the right equipped with 6 handpumps with compartmented booths opposite. A small club room to the front with wooden panelling. Another room of seating at the rear. 50p per pint CAMRA members' discount on cask ales.
We have visited this pub 35 times, seen 54 different beers and tried 15 of them.
