‘An excellent pint of real ale’: Two Wetherspoon pubs make Camra’s Good Beer Guide

Two Wetherspoon pubs have been marked up for the quality of their real ale by members of the local Campaign for Real Ale (Camra).

The Brockley Barge in Brockley Road, Brockley, and The Fox on the Hill, Denmark Hill, Camberwell, are both listed in Camra’s Good Beer Guide 2025, the UK’s best- selling beer and pub guide, published yesterday.

The Brockley Barge manager, Cesar Kimbirima, said: “I am delighted that The Brockley Barge has been recognised for the quality of its real ales by Camra members.

“We offer our customers an excellent range of real ales at all times, including those from regional brewers and microbrewers, as well as hosting our own beer festivals.

“Staff at the pub work hard to ensure that the real ales on offer are kept in first-class condition at all times and the pub’s inclusion in the guide highlights this.”

Camra branch members chose the pubs following regular visits to check on the quality of the real ales on offer.

They also took into account customer service, décor and overall atmosphere.

A Camra spokesman said: “The pubs deserve their place in the Good Beer Guide 2025.

“It is our belief that if a licensee serves an excellent pint of real ale, then everything else in the pub, including customer service, quality of food and atmosphere, are likely to be of an equally high standard.”
