A flibbertigibbet! A will-o'-the wisp! A clown!. Films, telly, bits of radio are my thing. Oh and London’s pubs, I’m often seen in the pub.

I’ve seen this sticker a few times but never fails to make me laugh. Encapsulates a lot about British football culture; a sense of place and history, humour but i would argue also shows a level of self deprecation.

Reminds me of this line from 30 Rock “We outsourced our customer service to an area in India with no phones. We’re now providing the same level of service at 0 the cost.”

It’s in The Times today. He’s part of a small consortium taking it over with the apparent aim to keep it as a ‘boozer’. Bullshit. When the co-owners run Flat Iron, Soho House and a fancy beer company I doubt it’ll be doing cheese and onion rolls. The Devonshire-fication of pubs.

This ‘little’ place near Camberwell Grove is going up for sale. You can make the George Canning your local for what is probably going to be a small fortune. www.instagram.com/p/DeHHOx4iGg...

The Firkin Frog, Herne Bay. Ran into a giant dog called Mable.

One of the best things about Herne Bay is the amazing street art installations that the local council have invested in. It’s challenging, difficult but rewarding.

One last three then in The Horsehoe, Clerkenwell. Closes its doors on the 9th Oct before a new landlord takes over after the current guv retires (he’s 76 after all so fair play). Long one of London’s premier darts pubs. I will miss it so much.

Unexpected jaunt to the newly reopened Packington Arms, Packington Street. New Bohem brewery pub which had been open all of a half hour. Their 3rd London pub now? These Czech lads are bang on it. Cask on as well.

Actually might be up that way in a bit. I’ll try to pop by.

Was just taking a look. Magnum 🤷‍♂️ enjoy. I think it’s a really good pub that. The Compton Arms round the corner could do you if it’s PACKED.

Minor gripe with Sharon Horgan’s new show Youth and its that her character lives some 30 seconds walk from The Wenlock Arms and doesn’t go there once in the first two episodes instead opting for a pub on Shepherdess Walk. Nah.

The Wickham Arms, Brockley. Absolutely jumping in there yesterday afternoon at 4pm. Roaring fun.

Brockley Jack, Crofton Park. First time in here after a long wait. Very pleased.

Was heading for the Brockley Jack and have accidentally ended up in The Waverly in Nunhead. Ah well, quick pint of best and then head back out.

For a ludicrous giggle I met a mate at The Beer House in Victoria for a drink. I love a station pub but this place is a total state and should only be used in an emergency.

Visited The Parakeet, Kentish Town. The menace of cocktails made waiting times longish but such is the modern boozer. Led to an interesting array of drinks for the young blokes next to me who were drinking a mix of lagers, margaritas and one who’d brought his own bottle of vanilla Huel.

This weekend we'll have the first of our seasonal special green hop beers available at our taproom. We've brewed just 20 litres of Hopdodger IPA using fresh hops foraged from Kent by one of our lovely regulars who also helped out with the brew. Get yourself a pint while it lasts!
