Evening visit until close, after the getting nod that POA would be on.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - ESB | 5.50 | | 4½* A bar staff recommended 'alf and 'alf of ESB and Dark Star Prize Old Ale. Really did mix and hit the spot |
| Dark Star - Prize Old Ale | 9.00 | | A real experience to drink a superb stock ale |

25 Nov 2023 (Philip Pirrip)
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.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - ESB | 5.50 | | Top form, most of which acted as a chaser for a bottle of Fuller's 2023 Vintage Ale |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Dark Star - Hophead (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.80 | Not Tried | |

18 Nov 2023 (Philip Pirrip)
Evening visit until close. Another good tribute band on show playing, this time, ska and reggae, including many old favourites.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - ESB | 5.50 | | Good enough to have two, one either side of a bottle of 2023 Fuller's Vintage Ale |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Dark Star - Hophead (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.80 | Not Tried | |

Late evening visit until close. Far less busy than other recent Saturday nights yet the tribute band was as good as ever, so odd, who knows. After ESB on cask opted for a newly delivered bottle of 2023 Fuller's Vintage Ale. Had to be done and may well be again.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - ESB | 5.50 | | No hesitation in giving this 4* |

Evening visit, sat in the back side room away from the full blast of tonight's live tribute band.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - ESB | 5.50 |  | A little too creamy and sweet but otherwise in great condition |

| Dark Star - Red Giant | 5.00 | Not Tried | Could be brewed anywhere now |
14 Oct 2023 (Philip Pirrip)
Late evening visit. A good live rock tribute band played Led Zeppelin's Ramble On, the only LZ song I know all the words to for a singalong.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - ESB | 5.50 | | Not the best example of ESB. Rather cloying |
| People's Captain (contract brewed but brewer never named) - Local Hero | 4.20 | | Unimpressive APA with haze |
| Fuller's (part of Asahi Europe) - London Pride | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Dark Star - Hophead (some has also been brewed by Fuller's) | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| Twickenham (also uses sub-brand Old Hands) - Champions Ale | 4.30 | Not Tried | |

A wonderful conversion of a former bank. Friendly and helpful staff, we wondered which of various discount schemes on offer would give us the best deal, we settled for a 20% off the entire bill voucher code rather than 50p per pint Camra discount and saved over £8 on the round. The kitty holder was a happy man. I did not make a note of all the beers on offer.

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 16 times, seen 28 different beers and tried 11 of them.
