This pub has been under a lovely new manager for about a year now i think and it has really changed. It used to be a bit of a rough spot and i didnt go in there despite living just behind it but now i'm happy to go in for a drink after work or at the weekends. The staff are now generally very friendly, the pub is very clean, the food is good and the garden means you can enjoy a cold beer out in the sun.
hats off to the new management and his staff.

The pub infrastructuree is good and the food when the full staff complement is in attendance is good but this is uncommon. Very rowdy / criminal influences make this a high risk visit...watch your handbag!!
A good venue soured by its clients!!

this pub needs working on big time and i mean big its been taken over by new managment now but there are changes happening but slowly which is a bit of a shame still only thing they need to do is get the place referbed a bit and kick out the rest of the idiots that still seem to be there but i can understand that the new managment cant bar them cuase thay havnt done anything idioticly in front of them yet
bar staff are very friendly indeed espeacilly that barmaid charlotte who always went out her way to give me and my family the best customer service i have recieved. its a shame that a couple of the staff left espeacilly john he was and always will be the best barman ever but yeah keep up the good work and work hard that place will start bringing in a nicer crowd but new management aswell keep up the good work but changes can be a bit faster
also i had a delicouse curry on thursday and will definitly be going back

First pub I visited when I shifted to Battersea. never went back, dark smelly and inpersonal. Staff could not recommend a good beer!

Typical one-floor ‘Spoons. Stained glass, leaded windows give a rather plain pub some redeeming features. Two largescreen TVs don’t intrude and the guest beer was good. Not so good was a 25 minute wait for my food to arrive.

Had a quick lunch with my lady here recently, had an adequate sausage baguette.
Admired the way the barstaff despaired at me having a soft drink (I was being good, I had to go back to work after). At least they were friendly! The rest of the population was a little surly.

Visited on a saturday lunch time . Was clean and full of normal people . Excellent quality Courage Best at £1.40 a pint and Sky Sports in background.

the last time i went here a dog ran over and did a wee all over my bag. the fact that i wasn't entirely surprised says it all.

Horrible, horrible, horrible - have been in here once or twice over the past three or so years and not had too bad an experience (always bearing in minds its a Wetherspoons) but went in here recently and its seems to have let itself go even from the low Wetherspoons standards. Had the most horrible nachos imaginable, I think my pint was off and the other customers seemed to be far more drunk than Ive ever seen them before.

This is an awful place, full of old soaks from the minute the door opens in the morning until it shuts at the end of the day. The place seems to attract a particularly unpleasant type, agressive and violent, there are periodic drug raids by the police. To be avoided at all cost if you are looking for a quiet and pleasant place for a drink.

My other half and I used to work here and it was a lovely little pub very personal, every one knew everyone and we all knew what the majority were drinking, maybe the wetherspoons logo atracts an older clientelle but I can tell you the manager there is a great guy and has run that pub for at least three years, he turned it around and by the looks of some of the comments on here it certainly seems like they are talking about the nasty little pub across the road that i wouldnt even let my dog walk in. Some of us wetherspoon managers have morals and standards, so stop beating us all down, maybe the minority spoil it for the majority have you ever thought of that?

Not my place but my Dad loved it, for the cheap Guiness and very cheap food. Has it place in the world.

Not a great place to hangout unless you are an old drunk which is a bit harsh!
It attracts an oldish crowd looking for a quiet, smoky and cheap booze.

Has all the usual values associated with Wetherspoon pubs (cheap beer and food, no music or TV, etc) and the bar staff work hard, but are often overwhelmed by people waiting to get served. Not helped by a landlady who spends her time drinking with cronies. Customers consist of geezers, spivs and assorted low life.

A cheap pub which is, sadly, mainly frequented by dodgy old drunks. Not to be recommended unless desperate for a cheap meal or drink..

Wetherspoons. Need I say more? Although, say what u like, the surf & turf is consistently good.
