Is your plan to visit all places? Originally posted by RichTheVillan Is it ok if I drop my rucksack off at the house of pancakes before heading off to Bermondsey got a really early train into London so it’ll be about 8.20am? Yep sure nice one Ronnie, we should have time to visit all places Four Pure can be a bit of a trek, pretty sure some more experienced Bermondsey tickers will be able to tell us the best plan of attack. I was thinking Kernel first, then Anspach & Hobday opens at 10.30, then Bottle Shop, not sure where is best from there. Do BBNO straight after Kernel. Not sure what the official opening time is but the couple of times I’ve been Down this summer I’ve been In BBNO drinking by 1020/25. BBNO also tends to get the busiest as kernel used to so best to pick it off as early as possible. Cheers Cloin think it should open at 11am, but great to know they let you start earlier
Message The_Osprey beers 10591 º places 178 º 04:08 Thu 8/4/2016 I’ve never been let in to BBNo before 11. Maybe there’s a password you get given after 10k rates?

Maybe there’s a password you get given after 10k rates? I guess its if they are set up and ready to go its not an issue. Went in Mid May and again first weekend of July and both times I just wandered in before half 10, ordered and sat down and drank. On one of the occasions I recall someone else already there drinking, the other time I was first in and there were others within 5 minutes. Maybe they are Welshist ... can’t blame them tbh !
