Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Samuel Peto (JD Wetherspoon)

Very imposing former Baptist chapel, well converted by Wetherspoon into a two-storey pub / restaurant with a decent gallery on three sides. Mix of seating, with a good number of booths on both levels. Lots to look at, wherever you are sat, with a particularly notable ceiling. Only downside is the usually duplicated choice of cask ales from two banks of six handpumps, with Ruddles, Doom Bar and Abbot plus Sharp's Sea Fury, Dark Fruits Porter from Salem and Hanlons Goodwill festive ale (£2.10).

Stunning building - a converted church, that is nicely lit up externally at night. Bouncers on the door on a saturday night and it was very busy and for a venue with no entertainment options other than one armed bandits, very lively. What's better than people watching on a Saturday night with top quality Jaipur for £2.29 a pint.

As well described below this is a grand old building but was let down by a dull beer choice with the only possible item of interest being Westerham East India Pale. As I was eating which included a drink I had the Devils Backbone IPA.
The grand building is wasted on me if the beer choice is rubbish as it was here.
