Evening visit. As always a good tribute band blasting out.

Evening visit until close. Another good live tribute band, although I admit I hardly knew any of the songs they played, but many of the massed crowd obviously did.

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 24 times, seen 35 different beers and tried 12 of them.
