Watson's General Telegraph, East Dulwich, SE22

As mentioned an old Trumans pub, but opened out and modernised inside, just Pride and Landlord alongside Rosies Pig Cider on handpump. Another pub suffering from a mix of young things with offspring who have no idea of pub etiquette and boisterous rugby fans, not great.

A lovely name for a pub that conjures up many images. This is, as always well described below, a very pleasant open plan room after you enter via the enticing corridor of a non-descript residential street. There is a nice vibe to the venue and it benefits from a large external space out the back of the pub. The venue has a well advertised quiz on a Wednesday evening and so it was pretty quiet on my visit around 9pm this evening. There is indeed a tap wall of, by my count, 20 beers. Plenary of unexciting quaffs you see in a lot of places but enough to get craft fans salivating. I had a pint of the Sonar Hazy Session IPA. There are three hand pumps. One dispensing Old Rosie, one dispensing, wait for it, Doom Bar, and the other signs that it is ordinarily Tribute, but turned round on my visit! This is a 5/6 venue for me. Definitely worth a call in if in the area but definitely not one to head to from far and wide. After spending time in the lovely Crown & Greyhound this evening, edges it to a 5 for me to ensure clear blue water on the rating scale.
