OK-ish sort of pub, but let down by one of the worst pints of Harveys that I have had for a long time. Perhaps I came on a bad day, but I couldn't really recommend this place to anybody in case they also get a duff pint (and the bar staff didn't look like they cared much anyway).

Basic interior is more than made up for by the excellent beer choice (Harveys plus guests) and good service. There are a large number of TV's showing Sky Sports, but the atmosphere in the place is very friendly so it's a recommened venue for the big matches.

GREAT PUB
|
This is my lunchtime local and I think its great. Full of perhaps unusual but funny locals, plus level headed, down to earth office workers
If you want a decent pint (lager or ale)some honest pub grub and perhaps a game of darts ( thats what I do at lunch!) you cant beat it. They also put on a great quiz night there.
A proper honest boozer. Recently they have a complete change of staff which seems to have slowed the food service down which is a shame. Can anyone confirm it hasnt changed hands at all? Only negative will be theres NO ventalation so if you dont like smoky pubs then avoid.
Otherwise I love this place and would recommend it to all. 9/10
Anyway, great pub, onl

My bosses "visit" this pub atleast twice a week and find it to be their favourite in the area. It's not my personal choice but the atmosphere is good and we have had no complaints about the food either
|
When I worked nearby until recently this was a favourite watering hole after work - good sound ol boozer, good company/conversation/ale/food and the prices are sensible for the area. Try it, you may go back.

This pub is full of commoners. I prefer to drink in places where you can get decent champagne and where there aren't fights breaking out all over. The last time I went here, (under duress I can tell you), there were old men dribbling over the young ladies and some pikey tried to show me his dangly one. We are not amused.

Good pub with decent beer and friendly staff, good place to watch footie (but get there early). Not bad food and nice sofas up stairs, but can get annoyingly full of hairdressers from the local Tony & Guy school and twats from IPC magazines at lunchtimes.

Mine host is one of de finest in south london, and the crow's nest can be a laugh when it isn't booked out with saps having lunch and dinner, blocking the bar for real drinkers

Tip Top.

Visited when in London for the Great British Beer Festival this Summer by recommendation. Found it a really pleasant pub & the beer was in good condition too.

Not a bad pub, the food's quite good and not overpriced. The bar staf are friendly and they show a wide variety of sports on SKY, although mostly premier league football, which is the main reason that I visit.

Had my "leaving-do" here, when I left BT in 1998 with 3 of my colleges. We totally packed the upstairs bar for 8 hours. The bar staff had a great work-out, pulling the excellent Harveys Bitter all the way up from the cellar, 2 floors down. The 4 of us bunged £1200 over the counter and we all drank the lot and more. We all had a great day and this was just one of a long series of BT "leaving-do's". Mashed for weeks.
