The Draft House is a small group of Public Houses which aims to do for beer what our culture has done for food and wine over the past twenty years.

Cheese and Biscuits: The Draft House Tower Bridge, Bermondsey

If you love proper craft beer from interesting producers made with care and personality and style (and I don't see why you wouldn't), there are already many reasons to visit one of the two existing Draft House pubs in south London - the Westbridge on Battersea Bridge Road or the newer Draft House on Northcote Road.

I'm told that the fish and chips served on Northcote Road has improved immeasurably since my first visit back in March (thank God) and the kitchens in both sites settled down quite nicely, but I don't think I'm being completely unfair in saying that the main focus of the Draft House has been beer - and very good they are at it too.

With the savoury courses we were supplied with a few selections of the Draft House's more esoteric beers.

How many of these specific bottles will be available to paying customers once the doors open for good remains to be seen, although it does at least demonstrate that the people behind the Draft House have a serious nose for quality alcoholic product.

You just can't fake cooking of this quality - the talent behind that steak tartare and amazing pork belly is producing food for paying customers right now (in fact before September 12th there's 50% off it all during soft opening) and I’m confident if you turned up for a meal tonight you would have every bit as an enjoyable time as those lucky enough to be treated last night.

We don't know what exactly is going on in this area, but some kind of gentrification is obviously taking place as the Draft House is another cracking pub in the area (along with the Bridge House only a few doors down).

Okay, it's a slightly different proposition - lots and lots of beers as opposed to one kind - we think you'll be spoilt for choice.

There's friendly & knowledgeable staff, the aforementioned huge beer range of local beers as well as European and New World - we had Sambrook's Porter when we were in last and it was spot on for a cold afternoon.

Part of a small group (three pubs) devoted to good beer and excellent food, we have to like these places - they're dragging the pub into the 21st century.

If anything, places that do lots of things well, such as the Draft House, are doing a great job of making pubs the centre of the community again.

The Clock House, Surrey, restaurant review: great things can come ...

Review analysis
food  

Whenever my daughter and I go through Woking on the train, which we do quite often at the moment, I try to get her to look at the town’s best building, the Shah Jahan Mosque, the first purpose-built place of Islamic worship in the UK.

Said daughter being mysteriously unavailable, her stepmother joined me for dinner near Woking last week.

The three-mile minicab ride took place in darkness, so we didn’t get to see Shah Jahan in all its glory (nor, I should point out in the interests of ecumenicalism, did we take the brief diversion I'd intended to ask for in order to check out the ruined Augustinian priory at Newark).

The Draft House, 206-208 Tower Bridge Road, London SE1 (020 7378 9995).

Meal for two, including beer and service, £65 The list of beers on tap at the Draft House by Tower Bridge reads like a bunch of geographical landmarks from The Lord of the Rings: here's Chalky's Bark and Brugs Wit, Dogfish Head and Mac's Gold.

Thick pieces of quality bread smeared with a big, sticky mix of ham hock and trotter burnished with sesame seeds is exactly the sort of the thing you would want to trough as you work your way down the draft list, all of which is available by the thirds of pints as well as halves.

A sweet onion tart overlaid with a disc of very good goat's cheese was terrifyingly sweet, but alongside a glass of bitter ale worked very well.

Better still was my burger: a serious piece of meat served thick and rare with smoked cheese in a soft, sweet but proper bit of bun alongside good fries.

The focus is on carefully sourced and served beer but food plays an important role too, with a US influence coming through on the burgers, hot dogs, pulled pork buns and Americanised salads.

It's the beer, though, that pulls in most punters - and the fact that they are available by the one-third pint does wonders for a little exploration.

They brew their own beer too, naturally.
