Visited earlier in the week, and was rather busy at 4:15 on a weekday! I spotted 12 hand pulls at the bar, split across a bank to the front of the bar and another to the right hand side, so had to do a bit of shuffling round to take in the selection. I went for Solar Eclipse by Dark Star, at a rather expensive £2.60 for a half pint. There does appear to be a Fullers connection to the pub, and although on the face of it I don't recall the bar being dominated by their beers, I later discovered that Dark Star are owned by the same parent company as Fullers. No issues with service, despite there being a small wait to get served as you would expect when the pub is busy. I may well call in again at some point, but probably wouldn't go out of my way to do so.
