Cock & Hen

This is a new place, opened late 2006, early 2007, I think.

Bouncers on the door and it is only Saturday lunchtime, pity.

Dark, modern and minimulistic in style. The staff were friendly and happy to talk about the only beer made on the premises (Bonobo), a dark fruity ale. The small brewing kettle is at the front of the bar, to your left as you walk in.

Raised decking and an outside heated drinking area to the rear give the place some much needed extra space. Laidback 70's music like 'The Kinks' was being played on my visit.

The beers on offer were; Bonobo, two cask beers from Adnams, a couple of Meantime beers, Sam Smiths Keg Stout, Budwieser Budvar, Erdinger Wiess and a cider.

I will use it again when in that area of London, there is very little else beer wise for miles. The food menu looked OK, but we didn't eat.
