Lucky Anchor Ale House, Deptford, SE8

Single room bar with a reasonable sized outdoor area to the rear. This place feels quite dull inside but is is handily situated on Deptford High Street and it does offer some fairly unusual cask ales and an extensive craft beer selection. Opening isn't until 3pm during the week (1:30pm at weekends) but the pub seems to have attracted a fairly loyal local following with quite a few regulars congregated at the bar by the time we departed. The 3 cask ales on when we visited yesterday were Marble Rocket, Ideal Day Banks of the River & Orbit Hakata Red Ale. The fourth handpull was clipped with Lilley's Fire Dancer. Meanwhile, craft beers listed on a board to the side of the bar, were Villages Rodeo, Anspach & Hobday London Black, Two Flints Santiago & Dripping in Eggers Special, Phantom Pickle Party, Deya Steady Rolling Man, Beak Parade IPA, Pressure Drop Ja! & Gameplay, Tartarus Yeti & Pastore Double Crema Dream Cake.

A single room shop conversion with mostly barstool height seating throughout.Pretty much set out as a craft bar with 16 keg taps of A list brewers there are also two handpumps, these were occupied by two craft brewers that are now more than toe dipping in the cask sector, Verdant Penpol and Deya Steady Rolling Man which if a beer can be perfect this was it, superb quality and of course beer, I also had a keg beer from The Kernel, Tropical Stout, also top notch. A revisit here is a certainty.
