This was the first pub that we
visited as part of a tour from a break from the Great British Beer Festival,
which was being held just around the corner at Olympia. It was a corner pub and
had a Cask Marque certificate so I was game but not many other people were. The
pub obviously hadn’t planned for pub crawlers to pass through; it looked like
they thought that people would stay inside the beer festival. It was odd that
the beer festival itself didn’t suggest a pub crawl around London either; perhaps
the organisers wanted people to stay put or that there were better pubs in the city.
In any case, I thought the IPA was fair; and it being a low gravity drink it
helped wash away the higher-strengthed beers I’d had earlier ready for the
other pubs to visit. It was attractive from the outside, but inside it was bare
board with a lot of wood and the atmosphere was bare too. It didn’t give me
much incentive to hang around.
