Evening visit. Frustrating that electronic beer boards do not differentiate between cask and keg beers. Remains noisy inside which would only be dampened by having more soft furnishing and ceiling sound baffles.

Late evening visit. Very pleasant, courteous and well organised table service. Rather un-micropub-like to have more keg beers than cask ales. High standard of ambience here but please please add some soft furnishings and ceiling noise baffles as the place was so noisy.

Website.

The pub is found in Eltham, Greater London, SE9 6SP.

Micropub in Well Hall Parade, go north under the railway bridge from Eltham railway and bus station then 50 yards up a side street. Opened in December 2020 in a former dry cleaning shop. High tables and stools in a contemporary decorated environment. Keg beers and cask ales are listed on overhead electronic boards. Cask ales are served on gravity dispense from a back room behind the traditional bar counter. The electronic beer boards do not differentiate between cask and keg so you will have to ask when ordering for confirmation. After a false start it now has a garden facility.

We have visited this pub twice, seen 5 different beers and tried 2 of them.
