The Plum Tree, Plumstead Common, SE18

David Walton left this review about The Plum Tree

Echo everything Blue Scrumpy says below. Excellent small beer shop with high bench seating along one side of the venue and another lower couple of benches, one inside the front door and the other alongside the bar. Quiet on my visit early on a Wednesday evening. Beer shop friendly being played but at a good volume.

Beer choice, cask and keg was excellent, something for everyone who ventures here unless you are partial to mainstream and crap bitters and lagers! On the cask board were South Island, a pale from Saltaire, the fantastically named Resplendent Perspective, a blonde from Wild Child and Liquid Mystique, a red beer from Siren. On the craft beer board were three from Siren, a raspberry sour from Vault City, a cider from Silly Moo, a Porter from Anspach & Hobday, and a stonking DIPA from Burning Sky. Apparently there had been a Siren brewery take over at the weekend hence the large number of Siren quaffs.

This place had won CAMRA’s Greenwich branch district pub of the year in 2023. Having been to most of the pubs around here with just a few to tick off this evening, I would that hard to argue against. Not everyone’s cup of tea these type of places but they are definitely mine and this is a good’un.
