This really is a poor pub. I felt like I was walking into the set of Eastenders - a real edgy Cockney atmosphere, Dads sitting around 'with their boys' scratching their tatoos.
No real ale to speak of.
Overpriced lager.
Bad karaoke.
Avoid.

What a shit hole

Popped in on a Thursday lunchtime for a workmate's final day. Dead quiet, almost tumbleweed blowing across the bar - essentially an old fashioned Victorian boozer, great unfulfilled potential. No cask ales, Guinness was palatable.

Ignore all anonymous comments, they're worthless.

This pub is noisy, lacks any cask ale, and therefore has no appeal to me.

I see that there is a mixed bag of comments here about this drinking establishment. "Quiet cheap and friendly staff" "Recent Refurb" "Dogs running around" are just a few of the comments that spring up. This pub isn't exactly top notch and the floor is very sticky before and after the cleaners have been in. I wouldn't rush back there although I must say each time I went there it got a little bit better though. Apart from the Dog in there barking loudly.

This place is awful!!!It is like the Croydon equivalent of the Deep South or Chatham. Full of people who would be at home on The Jerry Springer Show who you would never see in any other pub nearby. If you're lucky you might get some entertainment with a fight between the locals, also music with council estate karioke. Great place for all the family with small children and dogs running around late at night. One to avoid like the plague!!!

Good honest local. no frills but has decent beer although nothing particularly unusual in terms of choice. friendly staff and locals. Recent refurb improved the feel of the place a bit. Pool table and a several screen to watch the footie on.
