| I'm normally a great fan of micropubs. But, I wasn't wowed by this one compared with others. This may well have been due to the time I visited - early Saturday afternoon. It was empty when I arrived and I left one other customer inside when I moved on. Cask ales were all on the pale side - Wantsum Vacay In Cali, Fell Tinderbox IPA, Thornbridge Twin Peaks, Whitstable Winkle Picker, Kent Galena, Bexley Bob & Two By Two Session IPA. I was more interested in the ciders. The selection initially looked greater than it actually was. But, bottled ciders were included and so were the pub's own concoctions, created by mixing multiple ciders. The remainder was Broadoak Moonshine, Sloe Gin & Strawberry Cider, Lilley's Gladiator, Mr Whitehead's Equinox, Bumblebee Regatta, Snail's Bank Fruit Bat & Raspberry Ripple, Chant Badger's Spit, Thistly Cross Whisky Cask & Dudda's Tun Bone Dry. I stopped for half of the only one I hadn't previously had (the Regatta), before leaving for the station which is nearby. I think I've set myself a high expectation for micropubs. This is still a very solid 7 or 8/10 and easily the best pub in Sidcup. blue_scrumpy - 14 Aug 2019 19:57 |
| Well what a shock the 2.7 rating was very misleading! A superb micro-pub,far too crowded but that Is down to their success .Clearly a well chosen site, they are clever enough to have non Locale beers,everyone wants something a little different.9/10. slerpy - 22 Oct 2018 14:30 |
| Excellent micropub opposite the road to my old school 1966-73; oh how I wish... Really good selection of real ales and ciders in top notch condition. Free bites like crackers and cheese was very welcome. Highly recommended. Steamer1 - 12 Jun 2017 10:09 |
