Under new ownership and now almost back to it's former glory. Unfortunately some of the refurbishment means that the traditional feel of the place has gone forever, but the new owners have worked hard to make major improvements.
The place would have to be described as cosy. It's a small corner pub in the middle of Canning Circus. 4 ales on. 3 regulars and one guest. Adnams bitter, Deuchars IPA, Black Sheep Bitter, and Abbot were on when I went. The Adnams is top notch, and tastes exactly as it should.
There was a real fire which was very welcoming on the cold and wet night I last visited. The manager or landlord was very friendly. A good mix of clientele (male and female, young and old), which is always a good sign.
The new restaurant upstairs has had rave reviews. I've not visited yet, but intend to.
Compare this with my last review from September 07. The previous owners didn't last long, and no wonder.

Used to be a great pub until it changed hands a few months ago. Tastlessly and pointlessly redecorated. The curry I had upstairs was one of the worst I've ever had, with melted cheddar cheese in it instead of the paneer I'd ordered.

Pub is good; well kept beer; not impressed with the restaurant though

Now an Indian resturant with beer, Yuk. I'll not go back. It used to serve good food :-(

I thought the restaurant food somewhat overpriced. My chief criticism, however, would be of the exceptionally haughty waiter who made us feel uncomfortable throughout the meal.

Good unpretentious pub. Small bar area. Good beer. The restaurant upstairs is supposed to be fantastic but why go upstairs when there is a bar on the ground floor.

Nice pub, nice clientele.
They usually have Adnams Broadside and a couple of other real ales on.
