Popped in today and must say not very impressed prick and ping menu
EPA Bitter not very good I dont think the pipes had been cleaned in a while and the barmaid didn't pull any off and I was the first one in
Could be a very good pub if the decor suited and staff showed an interest
Dogs and children not welcome

It had been quite a few years since my previous visit and I was pleasantly surprised when I dropped in recently. They’ve clearly spent some money on it and the décor is now quite nice and they’ve gone a bit upmarket. I suspect the one thing that hasn’t changed too much over the years is the clientele although they do seem to have grown up along with the pub. Pleasant place for a beer, cask ales available.

Rough and ready place but we found it a nice spot for a quick pint.
Looked like they have 3 hand-pumps but only Pride was on when we were there on a Thursday. Great pint though - in tip-top condition.

The London Pride in here is probably the best I've had anywhere (and I've drunk a lot of it, trust me, especially on the brewery tour at Cheswick) and it has only just gone up 5p in the last couple of months to £2.15. The food is really good and unbelieveably cheap (16oz steak £5.99, 8oz £3.99). It's a bit rough and ready, but there's an awful lot worse pubs out there, even my girlfriend doesn't mind it in there.

Spacious non-descript pub with aforementioned locals, no negativity my night. Outdoor seating in back looks over car park. London Pride the sole real ale. 6/10.

This pub is full of sad young people, who are mainly out for trouble, I stopped off there one evening for a quick pint and to meet some mates, but unfortunatly there was a group of young idiots who seemed to think they owned the pub, and they made the whole atmosphere very uncomfortable.
The prices in the pub were also extremely high.
Not a pub i would recommend to my worst enermy.

A real spit and sawdust place. Went for a wander round Bushey and got caught in a colossal downpour so I escaped to the Red Lion for a pint. Walking up to the bar, I managed to say "Can I have..." before the wag next to me yelled "a towel?"
10/10 for comedy value. A bit less for the pub. Got the feeling it would be Armageddon in there at the weekend.
