Good to see the wonderfully preserved King's Head still serving top cask ale - inc. Beechwood Bitter & Chiltern Pale Ale - & food under the management of Chiltern Brewery.

The sort of thing you'd be happy to have a pint of if nothing more interesting was available.

Boddingtons Cask Conditioned Bitter in the @theshirkersrest.bsky.social , a decent golden ale, would I write home about it... no but it's nice enough.

@kernelbrewery.bsky.social Brown Ale, what a great pint, now on my second in The Lucky Anchor, Deptford. By the way how is this pub not in the Good Beer Guide, only my second visit to be fair but faultless beer each time.

A Chilli Pastry Stout from Hammerton in Badger Badger, Deptford High Street. It's getting warmer but I'm enjoying the challenge.

True but pie and mash is a dying thing all over, the streets full of chicken/burger/kebab places, at least it's been taken on as a pub.

Unfortunately not, two handpumps, 1 beer, 1 Cider, 12 craft keg, now run by Exale brewery.

It's sad to see a traditional Pie & Mash shop close It's doors but this is a splendid conversion into a pub in Dalston.
