Quite lively at 7.15pm with an ultra competitive game of pool and the sound of clanking balls above what seemed like an endless chain of Phil Collins hits (to call them that). Two hand pumps clearly recently dispensing (god knows what that would have drunk like) Doom Bar and TT Landlord so again in this Craft Union offering of shiny taps, crap lagers, flavoured ciders, Guinness nothing to opt for other than the nectar that is John Smiths (my saying nectar of what). The pub has a nice corner spot to watch the world go by and so it was a shame it had little to offer on the beer front. Again sport on several TV’s but not even the evening card from Wolv to occupy me but rather just start of week coverage of the upcoming US Masters, utterly pointless given it is largely discussion with no live action obviously to show with zero volume. At least have stopped the Phil C torture with some moderately less harm from a few from Bryan Adams. Am not really selling this place am I?

The Pawwleyne Arms is a corner pub situated in the middle of Penges shopping area. Once inside the bar faces with a single room wrapped around the bar on three sides,the room is carpeted and has normal tables and chairs and pew seats,there is a lot of wood panelling making the room look quite nice. There was one unclipped pump on the bar,so i had a drink of John Smiths Smooth crap which it was. The pub was fairly busy on my late Saturday afternoon visit. This is a very pleasant pub,just a shame there was not one real ale on the bar. Pub visited 14/5/2016
