Timothy Taylor Landlord Ale 3

Ok, I'm not going to talk about TTLA again as I have commented on it a couple of times in the past, however it is worth noting that I had the pint's in The Sir Christopher Hatton (SCH). The SCH is a new refurbishment of the Old Goose on Leather Lane by pubco Nicholson's. The pub is certainly more upmarket that The Goose was, but it still suffers from the numbers on the table syndrome which plagues all chain bars ('spoons, O'Neills, All Bar One etc). The most interesting finding I had was they had a total of 12 real ales on their beer menu, but they only had 8 pumps!

Even still 8 different real ales is a pretty good number. My only concern is that the crowd was predominately drinking lager and wine, with only a handful or very small percentage of punters getting into the ales. I question whether or not they will be able to continue offering such a selection, but in asking this I am not going to comment on their turnover!

Anyhow the pint I had was in excellent condition and I'll probably head back there if it is deemed the venue to attend by my colleagues for Friday evening drinks. Well, its better than the king of diamonds anyhow!
