Tap Takeover by @idealdaybrewery.bsky.social, Thurs, 19th Feb.

Great to have Beer Writer of the Year @davidjesudason.bsky.social as a friend of the pub. He tips us off about great beers and breweries and we’re happy to get them in.

Join us Thursday, when David will also be in to pour some pints!

Terribly sad to hear of passing of Des de Moor, an absolute gentleman, kind & generous. Talented writer of award-winning books inc. his comprehensive Cask, London's Best Beer & Pubs. Des conducted historic pub tours of London sharing his passion & knowledge. You will be missed RIP

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.
