A few regulars aside (Kwaak, Lindeboom etc) the tapped beers change pretty much by the barrel so you never know what's going to be available, so each visit is a small boozy adventure. They offer their drinks by the 1/3, 1/2 and pint but my favoured purchase is a "bat" of 3 1/3 pints of different beers. This way it's possible to sample most of the newcomers without getting *too* hammered. Owned by the same people as the Hermits Cave over the road, the staff are friendly, by-and-large. They don't offer food but are happy for you to bring in stuff from the diverse range of local take out places near by. Personal favourites being Maloko: the African creperie and Oregano Leaf: the wood fired pizza place, both just over the road. They have also started, recently, offering 3 and 5 pint take-out bottles of a selection from the casks on offer, which is great, if a little prone to poor causing closing time decisions.

W-wow.

There must be close to 20 craft beers on tap. Some known to me, such as the mighty Kernel, Brooklyn Lager, whose neon sign in the window is the sole indication as to the quality of beer that might lurk within. Others less known, including plenty of small UK brewers. In the fridges I spotted a similar mix of bottles, from noble Trappist beers to other Brooklyn Brewery beers, German lagers and some specialist Belgian beers. In short, plenty of stuff to get stuck into. The staff were also friendly, happily doling out free samples to help with the all-important choosing. Ultimately I went for an excellent Kernel IPA, and very tasty it was too. Overall? I'll be back, and bringing beer buddies a-plenty.

The Battersea area is just a cool area! To understand it you got to know a little history. From the…read more1930s to 1980s, Battersea Power Station was a working powerstation that fueled places like the Houses of Parliament and Buckingham Palace. If you are a Pink Floyd fan, you will recognize it the iconic chimneys from the cover of Pink Floyd's 1977 album Animals. Battersea Brewery is located at the renovated Battersea Power Station. They have really good craft beer. One in particular that I like is the Banana in Pajamas. They have snacks you can buy. For example bags of crisps as well as the serve British bites such as Toasties and sausage rolls. They also have indoor and outdoor seating.

It's a pretty cool place to grab a drink and people watch.

I'm not sure on that, it's just something I thought we caught on to before we left and there started to be RESERVED tents going on the tables. We went and had Scotch Egg, Calamari, Arancini, fish & chips and STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING. Oh. My. Goodness! First the Scotch Egg. I don't want to be a Debbie Downer but it was....ok. It was a little plain. A little tasteless. They could have thrown a few spices into the meat, just a little something. To say that we've made better at home wouldn't be far out. But still good. The calamari was cooked just right. It's what you expect out of a calamari appetizer. Was it the best you'll ever have? Not really. Worth the price? Add it to your appetizer list! The rice balls, which is arancini is, were good. Add a little salt to the top and they were, also, as you'd expect. The fish & chips were exactly as we were hoping when visiting an English Pub for fish & chips. The fish was perfectly cooked, the coating was fabulous, and of course the chips were a perfect compliment to the fish. A great fish & chips experience. The star of the show was the Sticky Toffee Pudding. What a treat! Granted I've nothing to compare it to, this was my first time having it, but whether I've had it before or not THIS was perfection. Perfect texture, the flavour was amazing, the caramel drizzle was perfectly proportioned, and the little bit of ice cream on the side was just perfect. I would go back here simply on this dessert alone. As for the drinks, because, you know, it's a pub....I couldn't say. I don't drink alcohol but my Diet Coke was great! Fresh bottle! ....I suppose I could have gotten a non-alcoholic beer. Wait....did they have non-alcoholic beer there? SOMEONE FIND OUT IF THEY HAVE NON-ALCOHOLIC BEER THERE. The atmosphere was great. I can see how it would be perfect in the evening and on into the night. Very welcoming with a great looking bar.

It was busy but not slammed - could still walk up to the bar and get a drink quickly. And that's what matters - the drinks. Their beer selection was superb. Of all the places on my most recent Beer Mile trek, I think this was one of only two spots that resulted in me getting multiple rounds of drinks. They have a bunch of their own beers (I think they brew at their other location and then pour here) as well as a couple guest beers. The taps change all the time but there is such a wide variety of beer you'll definitely find something. Even though it was summer, I most recently opted for a stout that was over 10%. It was delicious, boozy and intricate flavours with just a hint of sweetness. But they've got something for everyone, pale ales, belgians, saisons, stouts, etc. and they're not afraid to brew some strong drinks!

That said, once you set that aside, it is actually a pretty nice spot. We both went with the Sunday roast. I had the lamb and she had the chicken, and both were genuinely good. Solid portions, well cooked, and exactly what you would hope for from a classic London pub meal. The beer was also a win, no complaints there. Service was where things got a little uneven. It felt like our server might have been new and pretty nervous, which happens, but it did mean we often had to flag down other staff just to get basic things. Not terrible, just a bit disjointed. Cocktails were the biggest miss. I ordered an old fashioned and it felt half finished. It was basically whiskey, a couple sad ice cubes, and what might have been a splash of simple syrup. Maybe that is just a different interpretation in England, but it definitely was not what I expected. My girlfriend raved about the sticky toffee pudding however. Overall though, we did enjoy it. The atmosphere is fun, the food is good, and the little merch stand is a nice touch, especially if you are there for the same reason we were. Not perfect, but still worth a visit.
