Went to this pub last week and had a great time. Had been there a couple of times about a year ago and found it a bit dry, but they have made lots of improvements since. It has a nice atmosphere now and they decorated and made changes inside. Even have artwork for sale. Good all round local. Would definitely go back.

Looks like this pub has been done up recently into a more trendy pub/bar.

No real ales and is a more faceless bar compared to some of the other places in Streatham. Not my cup of tea but can see why some other people would like it. Definitely one for the younger and trendier residents of the area but isn't full of chavs.

Great for the Sunday roast and the occasional pint. One of the better pubs in the area. (Not saying much to be honest)

Why did they paint it Orange?

The nice black and white half-timbered exterior has been spoiled by a coat of orange paint. Not sure this will attract extra business myself.

The management seem to be making an effort in providing good quality food and booking the occasional band. Still lacking in atmosphere, and not really my idea of a friendly local.

Not a bad pub, nice make over. Used to be called the Park Tavern until someone was murdered in there and it shut. Booze well priced, staff friendly, still lacking an ambiance - maybe that will come with time?

The pub has undergone a major re-vamp.The bar staff are friendly the drink is well priced.The live band on friday evenings are really fun.As well as all the rest they do lovely grub too.
