One of many similar establishments forming part of the famous Bermondsey Beer Mile, like many of the others this is located in the arches under the railway track, and is of course a brewery tap rather than a pub, and this is reflected in the somewhat industrial style décor, if one could go so far as calling it that. The flooring was some type of concrete screed, whilst the usual white corrugated iron of these establishments was cladding the ceiling in order to channel the continually dripping water from the tunnel roof away from the punters underneath. There was no seating downstairs, and in fact very little space at all, with just some limited standing room in front of the bar counter. In addition to this there was some ‘fridges with stacks of cans and bottles, some shelving displaying a selection of bobble hats for sale (!), and piles of kegs everywhere. A mezzanine level floor had been constructed which did offer some seating, and this was a reasonably pleasant space with white painted breeze block walls. Beers on tap were Strong and Table, Pisci, Glass of Drink, Apa Cask!, Belgian Pale and Maid of Dancer, whilst the solitary cider was Oliver’s Wild Farmhouse.
