I was really looking forward to this pub as it was a former
CAMRA Pub of the Year winner; even though the pub had changed hands from a
pubco onto Fuller’s. The good news was that Fuller’s hadn’t restricted the new licensees
on their choice of microbreweries. The bad news was that it was a small corner
pub…and it was absolutely rammed. The bar was in a single corridor room; with a
few tables either side of it. There was an outside area in the form of a
corridor; though I did walk right past the pub before discovering its entrance.
There may have been an upstairs drinking area which may have been quieter; but
I wanted to stay in the hustle and bustle of the pub atmosphere. Unfortunately,
it was office quitting time; and the pub was packed with pre-journey commuters.
There wasn’t really any space to prop up the bar and engage with the regulars;
and I was forced to hang onto a bench to enjoy my half pint. Beer was good; not
in great condition; but tasted well.
