19 March 2022 - acquired by Metrpolitan Pub Co a sub-brand of Greene King. Two cask beers (as listed) were available on a visit in June 2023 - a third pumpclip was turned around. Great service with a large area to the left on entering set aside for dining. Thursday is steak night.
Future of The Gorgeous Brewery - the kit was removed from the site so ending the relationship with The Bull and indeed with London generally. From the Gorgeous website, "Church Farm, a family-run brewery renowned for its commitment to quality and craft, proudly announce their acquisition of Gorgeous Brewery."
It was the original home of the London Brewing Company, the lease was sold to new operator, Gorgeous Pubs, in July 2016, the sale including the on-site brewery whose beers became available under the Gorgeous Brewery banner. A new brew house and brew kit was installed located in the rear garden.
Before London Brewing moved in it had been a restaurant for some 15 years and closed for 20 months. Wooden floors, scrubbed tables, open picture windows and a nice front deck.
