Trafalgar Freehouse, South Wimbledon

I must agree with the last post. Perhaps Slerpy was at the wrong beer festival. I was at both days of the beer festival and one would have to be a bit hard of thinking to find it complicated. I heard nothing but praise for the beer range and I can assure you that at closing time on the last day there were still around 20 beers/ciders from which to choose. I spoke to the landlord who stated that he borrows the glasses from the local branch of CAMRA for his festivals. He has to pay for any that are not returned - hence a deposit (returnable!). He said that the reason for vouchers was to provide security for the staff in the yard and to speed up service in that bar. It worked extremely well. I must congratulate him on ensuring that the staff in the yard (Both Local CAMRA Volunteers known to me) knew their stuff when advising on beer choice. A great festival, well organised, well run and well DONE!
