Dog & Bell 116, Prince St, London, SE8 3JD Tel: 020 8692 5664 - close to Deptford Rail Station. If you need a map then
HERE IT IS.
The Dog & Bell - which won this award in 2002 - came out on top again. There were honourable mentions for the Oakdale Arms (Harringay) and the Sekforde Arms (Clerkenwell). The Dog & Bell is an excellent free house always featuring Fullers London Pride and ESB and three interesting and well kept guest beers from small breweries. Food is good and the range of bottled continental beers (especially) Belgium is excellent. Add in a friendly warm welcome, separate bars including quiet areas, a warm fire, bar billiards and a fish tank and you can see why this fine establishment won.
All SPBW Members are welcome to attend the presentation which will be on Monday January 24th at 7.30 PM.
Recent years events at the Royal Oak (2004) & The Wenlock (2003), have been very successful social evenings.
