The Priory Arms, Stockwell

Great boozer. Been using it on/off for a few years now. Great beer from around Europe. I will be there later today to sample some Oktoberfest bier from Munchen

Seven Stars, Foots Cray

Well.... I used to use The Seven Stars suring the 80's and 90's as my local when I lived in Sidcup. Since moving away. I found it to be a lovely pub with a friendly atmosphere. I went the sometime last year on it's last knocking and I found it to be terrible. I had 1 beer then I left.
After the redec I thought I would give it another try yesterday as I was visiting my parents. Well, what can I say.... Me (1 of 3 customers in the bar) had a warm welcome from the staff behind the bar. Asked what handpump beer they had on, I was told TT Black Sheep. A nice beer (at £4.40... hmmm). Very expensive for that area. Decor, Wooden floors (no carpet) it would have been nice to have had the walls a dard colour rather tham cream as it is a very old inn. Very food orientated, tables absolutley everywhere. Very little standing area although the garden area is great. To me very much a resuraunt than a pub. To me there was no atmosphere at all. Saying that, would it be different if I went there if it was busy. Who knows. Sorry, The Seven Stars is not the pub for me.
