The Kentish Drovers (JD Wetherspoon), Peckham, SE15

Quinno _ left this review about The Kentish Drovers (JD Wetherspoon)

As you'd perhaps expect, this is fairly careworn Spoons in a pretty rough and ready part of the capital. Greeted outside by a guy with a boom box selling knock-off merch, very much in keeping with the local character. Inside is a fairly featureless and surprisingly small interior; bar the attractive mosaic tiled flooring at the entrance there’s little to catch the eye. They've departed from the corporate norm by having handwritten luggage tags on the ales with price displayed, no idea why but it was quite a nice touch. Sadly that didn't extend to telling you what was actually pouring, it looked like six clipped and ready to roll but the reality on ordering was three. My Twickenham Wolf didn't fully clear but was drinkable (NBSS 2.5) – I suspect there’s not much call for cask round here. The atmosphere inside was fine, though there was also the feeling that it could get pretty lively at short notice. Service was decent, I was expecting a cautious grunt but it was friendly enough in actuality. Tick’s a tick, as they say – can’t imagine I’d ever see the need to re-appear unless a future GBG sends me somewhere nearby.
