I agree. This place is now disgusting. The pool room (read: shack) at the back is literally rotting, with mould and fungus are running up the damp walls. It should be condemned by health inspectors.

2 years ago when I moved into the area it was a half decent pub. Not the best but tolerable. Since then, I don't think any part of it has seen a hoover or a duster. The word 'filthy' comes to mind. I'd want rabies and tetanus jabs before setting foot in there again.

Aside from The Swan in Lee this has to be the worst pub in South East London. Not sure if there were more cracks on the barmaids face or on the ceiling. The pool area is stained yellow by smoke and the wallpaper is being held on by spit. The complimentary bar snacks of mini cheddars and raw onion went down like cheap whore. The pub quiz was a scam and not surprisingly one of the regulars won! Often frequented by football shirt wearing yobs, even saw one brave fool with an Argetina kit on!

This pub is pretty bad on one side and ok-ish on the other. On one side you definitely do have “plastic gangsters” but on the other side it seems ok. The men’s toilets are pretty dirty on both sides and my girlfriend said the same about the ladies too.
But I had no trouble getting a drink and none of the local gangsters gave me any trouble, in fact after the initial intimidation of the place I quite enjoyed myself there.

Plainly one of the worst boozers in the locality, full of plastic gangsters, who think (and will no doubt tell you that they are "faces". Quite possibly but only ugly faces!)
To be fair, when i was last in here, it did offer a late drink - so credit where credit is due. It was also mainly empty, so draw you own conclusions there.
Not a pub i'd ever miss if it got pulled down.

Nice, local pub split into two bars. As Zaphod said - no real ales and extremely smokey (Long bar, low ceiling, no ventilation). Also has the slowest quizmaster known to man (about a question every 5 minutes, with a half-hour break between rounds). It's like a quiz testmatch - congrats to anyone with the attention span to sit through it!
All in all, a pleasant local when the weather's too bad or you're feeling too lazy to walk up Burnt Ash Hill to the Crown or Summerfield.

Heard bad things about this place but was very pleasantly surprised when I went there. Reasonable selection of drinks and the one lady behind the bar seemed pretty laid back, although admittedly we were the only ones there at the time. One word of warning, however, regards the toilets. One or two ankles turned perhaps in there after one too many!

A decent neighbourhood boozer. Friendly staff, clean and well looked after, and now my closest watering hole. I only wish it had real ales and wasn't so smokey.
