    Agreed that it aint great, but I've never experienced poor quality or service. I paid £2.50 for a 4.8% on Sunday, and they had Brewdog 'This is Lager' (or summat like that) as manager special at £1.49 per pint(!!)
    We can only judge as we find - Balham is a one pint convenience for me, Wimbledon would be more a drinking target for the number of pumps.

    As for service I've only been there lunchtime . Generally a 4.8% should be a standard guest if it's not a Locale.one so £2.50 is expensive, it would be £2.05 in E4 but individual Sppons seem to make up their own rules.
    Yesterday the premium 5.3% RCH Double header was £2.05, the standard guest price while the premium strength 5.0% International Barcelona Pale Ale by Batemans was £2.35 the Super premium price. Only the 5% Brecon Red Beacons was at the regular premium price of £2.20. As it was Cheapskate Monday there prices were 20p less!
    I've been trying to fathom out food prices as well but the small variations seem to be just down to how well an item goes, so they probably prefer curries more in Chingford than they do in Penge.

    Commercial I suspect. It's fairly exposed on a busy junction and with six lanes of A3 twenty feet away few would tolerate the noise and vibration 24 hours a day.

    Given its location it would make a reasonable Travelodge/MaccyD's drivethrough affair for those who like that sort of thing.

    I would probably only require offcuts from a typical sized Spoons.
