The Bankers Draft, Eltham, SE9

This high street pub is fairly small by any standards, and tiny for a 'spoons. Only 5 handpumps, but mostly devoted to festival ales rather than usual suspects. Decent pint of Springhead Spring Chicken at a very reasonable £1.79. Efficient barmaid and a fairly friendly atmosphere too.

This is small for a Spoons and the short bar also leads to a smaller range of drinks than one would expect in a Spoons, but there are still five ales available. I did hear the very efficient barmaid mention to one of the many aged locals that were soaking up the cheap booze that there was talk of only having one hand pump in the future. (Yes this is a Wetherspoons and I referred to a member of the staff as being efficient – whatever next!) This is the only pub in Eltham that I have visited to date so I cannot compare it to any of its peers, but I'm sure that there must be better pubs in the area.

Small and very cramped Wetherspoon's pub on the very busy Eltham High Road. Not much in the way of guest beers and not much in the way of space as it gets packed.
