Popped in on Friday for a swift heart starter and only intended to stop by for an hour; ended up till the very late hour nattering and drinking with Scotty and "wee Robin" from up the road. Had the pleasure of watching a wild Starling gently hop forward to the open front bar door entrance, whilst Scotty was chatting away. He quietly and gently gathered her up, and took her back to her nest above the rafters outside. Very pleasing to see; as Robin looks like he would have bitten it's head off as a pre-luncheon treat, before tackling a round of the famous and fabulous toasties available.
I noticed the sign indicating the forth coming GREAT BRITISH BEERS FESTIVAL on
Monday 3rd - Sunday 9th August - This includes the only weekend in the year that they open. They will be serving Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th August 12noon - 5pm.

Cairngorm Brewery - Trade Winds 4.3% & Black Gold 4.4%.
Broughton Brewery - Green Mantle 3.7% & Oatmeal Stout 4.2%.
Harvistoun Brewery - Bitters & Twisted 3.8% & Dragonfly 3.6%.

For old and regular drinkers to the Mitre, some very sad news. Sheila (of Sheila & Don fame) who used to run the Mitre for a good many years, passed away a few weeks ago, I was told last night by "Uncle John". She was one of the very best of London characters and many fellas will miss her passing, all to very soon. Here's raising a drink to her lovely memory and thoughts to Don too at his sad loss. One of the best Guvnor's and couples in the business. God bless!

A real gem, well hidden away down a passageway, the pub doesn't front a road at all, a small 3 roomed olde worlde pub, all wood panels and wooden chairs, 4 or 5 real ales all all perfectly kept, and as mentioned elsewhere a knowledgable landlord. Not open at all at weekends, except for the GBBF in August. My visit was rather ruined by three moronic lawyers who seemed to think that the pub was actually their office and continually yawped into mobile phones whilst talking shop loudly. I bet their clients would have taken a dim view of them drinking before returning to an office to prepare detailed legal documents.....

Astonished to find I've not reviewed or rated this before. Suffice to say it's a gem; a true London institution. Landlord Scotty is top notch. I haven't been in since the Fuller's purchase but hope it hasn't changed things too much. I will return soon.
