Randomness Guide to London Menu

Good Beer Guide pub in Catford. The Good Beer Guide puts this is “at the Broadway entrance to the Catford Mews shopping centre”.

The pub stretches back quite a long way, with no natural light except right at the front, dominated by dark wood and dark red upholstery. Much of the seating is in a raised area (three steps and a handrail separate it from the bar); the seating at ground level is mostly tall stools. No steps for either gents' or ladies' - there's a disabled loo too but it's locked.

On a June 2008 visit, silent tennis plays on a large projection screen, with no music (they just put on one song, very quietly, then we went back to silence, which suggests a jukebox, though none could be spotted). Just before 6pm on a Tuesday there are a few other customers but about 90% of the seating is free.

Ales on handpump are Young's ordinary (£2.40/pint), Young's Special (£2.70) and Bombardier (£2.95). Bottled Kew Gold is £2.45.
