The Old Justice, Bermondsey, SE16

Covered with scaffolding at the moment, so I was worried about it being closed, but needn't have because it was very much open thankfully. The Brewer's Tudor exterior wasn't really visible, so I spent more time looking around the two-room interior which retains two bars with a central servery. The decor is dominated by mid-brown wood panelling in both rooms, with unremarkable furniture in each part (but do watch out for the step between the two). Pizza menu offered, but just Doom Bar (£4.10) and Hobgoblin available from a brace of handpumps on each counter.

Called in at 3pm, no one in the pub. Ordered 2 pints of Adnams Ghost ship (only other beer on was Broadside.)The second pint looked cloudy, so told the barman who went down the cellar to check it. Came rushing back saying dont drink the beer. He had forgotten he was cleaning the pipes and it had chemicals in it.Very apologetic and refunded our money. We moved quickly on.
