The Plum Tree, Plumstead Common, SE18

Micropub in a former shop that was just about the highlight of a trip to South East London to visit pubs that are new to the 2024 Good Beer Guide. There was a nice atmosphere in here on my Thursday evening visit, with conversation ruling the roost. The layout is typical micropub format with bench-type seating along the walls and with a bar on the left-hand side. Fridges next to the bar and front right near the window have a decent bottle and can selection. 3 cask ales were Gun Chummy Bluster & Cloudwater I Wish It Could Be Citra & Midwinter. Meanwhile, ciders were Thistly Cross Whisky Cask, Sandford Orchards Sandford Reserve, Ascension Mothership & Gardenia, Snail's Bank Fruit Bat, Pineapple and Grapefruit Cider & Peach Cider & Harry's Raspberry and Blackcurrant Cider & Mango & Lime Cider. Craft beers were Verdant Headband, Brew By Numbers #55, Rustle Glasshouse, Rivington Lucid Dreaming & Anspach and Hobday London Porter. The fizzy cider was Cowfold Silly Moo. I sampled both of the Cloudwater ales, which were in excellent condition and very tasty. I'd imagine this is now easily the best pub in Plumstead.
