It's sunny. And it's Adam's birthday this week (yes I refer to myself in the third person). So naturally we have a 10.5% Imperial Stout on.
It's delicious.
Drink with prudence.

Thank you to Bromley CAMRA for awarding us Bromley Pub of the Year for 2026! Always an amazing line up of pubs to rub shoulders with, really lucky to have such an eclectic abundance of first rate boozers in the borough so this means a lot to us.
Big up to the troupe that sail the ship day to day, such a wicked team to be working with. And thanks to all you punters, we wouldn't be here without you.
See you in April for a bash, GET INVOLVED!!!

PORKY PARTY NEXT THURSDAY 26TH FEB
They're back.
Over the new year a horrible tragedy befell the company and us all. A fire. A redolent blaze that perished all stores of the thing we hold so precious and dear to our hearts; our porky scratchings.
But this fragrant arson will no longer hang o'er our heads like a smog, suffocating memories of bygone days of rapture and mirth. Our calls have been answered. They're just over the hill, they're coming home my boy. Like the first cut grass of spring, like the bleat of newborn lambs soaring across the rolling tors of Albion, from Lands End across to Botany Bay, from that Wight isle all the way north to Scarborough Fayre. Can you taste it boy? That taste that screams without abandon? It's home boy. And this nest will it never fly again, till the last solstice of our days. Till St Peters gate. Till Heaven.
So we're giving a bowl away for free with your first drink don't take the p**s.
TLDR Pork scratchings are back next Thursday get involved.
