Proper locals pub. Decent pint of ale too. Friendly landlord. Anyone interested in the name of the pub....the landlord told me that its the Country house first an foremost..the jack beard bit is just the chain and the fog is a nickname as another poster outlined.
If you are in Earlsfield this one is worth seeking out.

popped in for a couple a few weeks ago

Not a scary pub at all. A proper pub though with a confusingly layered name, something like Jack Beard's at the Fog (the Country House). It's called the Fog because as it's near the station, homeward rail commuters would pop in here for a quick half or three, and phone their wives to tell them they were 'stuck in the fog'.

The cheapest pub in the area, and also (correct me if I'm wrong) the only one with a pool table. Plus the landlady is great! Highly recommended.

Visited yesterday (11/11) and was amazed! If you're into pub history this is a must - very traditional and well kept. £2.25 for a lovely pint of Youngs. Friendly atmos and proper 'back street local'. Excellent

This is the only good pub in Earlsfield, the halfway has all the atmosphere of a morgue, the puzzle is full idiots and as for bar 666 forget it

It was a Dalmatian, not a Labrador. It's not a scary pub but it will go quiet when you walk in, if you're not one of the locals !

I did survive. Nice beer too. Certainly better than the cloudy crap they serve up in the Puzzle. Had a few games of pool with the locals and generally had a good afternoon. Ended up worse for wear in Nazmins curry house.

So Olly,
Did you survive to tell the tale?

Don't be scared Olly. It's a real pub with real people. Not trying to be anything else. Friendly staff, overweight labrador. Cheap beer too. Try it!

Great grub on a Sunday. Although does remind me a bit like the League of Gentleman.
