Some quality beers in an environment redolent of a cheap noodle house without the atmosphere.There are pretensions toward a Japanese-minimalist vibe for some reason, which doesn't match the beer or the menu items (putting kanji on the menu doesn't make the food any less western). All the staff but one were consistently aloof and uninterested. Maybe if I was younger and also from a monied home-counties background they would have been friendlier. The exception was someone who was happy to talk about the beer and seemed to have a genuine interest in it. This is not the Bermondsey your parents…

Really happy to see the Kernel move into this lovely big space. Will be great in winter. Bring on the kitchen!

Great new space, looking forward to making it our new local especially when the kitchen is up and running.
