Half Moon, Herne Hill, SE24

Was the last pub visited on the evening and pretty busy with what seemed like small groups that had been playing sports of the evening rather than someway into a pub crawl. It is a magnificent location and should be a magnificent pub but in spite of generally being OK with Fullers thought the beer choices on hand pump were very limited, lots of operating hand pumps but almost all seemed to be dispensing Pride (never seen four consecutive hand pumps all dispensing the same beer before, as the photo attests). Was expecting to be the best of the SE24 venues, but i enjoyed Bullfinch more (even allowing for the temperature).

Popped in last week with 30mins to kill, stupidly tapped for a pint of Wild River without looking, couldn't believe it when I saw the dr to my account, £6.35!!! And it was off, had to change for Pride which was the only other thing available. So, 8 or 9(?) pumps across the two bars but only Pride and an expired Wild River - lazy, unimaginative and ridiculously overpriced. No point in looking good if the basics are so mis-managed.

In a night of great South London Pubs - this was my 2nd favourite. A fantastic, huge pub - opposite the train station - and back to the glory that was intended when it was first made. Loved the glass windows. Huge seating area out the front. Four pumps immediately on the bar - all London Pride. Made me laugh, but the LP was in great condition. Excellent pub.

Fullers have done an excellent job here bringing this pub/hotel back to its former glory. The manager told me that they celebrated a years opening only last week and he also showed me a photo of when the pub got flooded. I went for the Fullers London Pride which was superb, whilst Mrs A went for the Brixton Effra Pale Ale. This is an interesting pub and well worth a visit.

A very grand Fuller's pub, also a hotel, in a building with plenty of decorative features both externally and within. The multi-room interior has been partially opened-out, but there is still a glazed screen between the two bars. There is also an upper glazed panel housing a clock between the main bar and the dining area / reception. Very traditional furniture and decor (including a small wooden booth along one wall). Substantial patio beer garden. Three banks of four handpumps in total, and allowing for duplicates I found Pride, Seafarers, three seasonals - Damson Porter (£4.55), Holly Bush and Wise Men - and Brixton Reliance Pale as a guest.

Superbly finished pub.Sun was shining through the leaded windows and gave it a special feel.Fullers beers but also Canopy and Bullfinch beers on cask.
