| I've fond memories of this place, and it hasn't changed sinse I was a lad in the 70's, and we allways seem to finish up in here when I'm back in the area as my bro still lives up the road and it's near the station, I've allways found it a decent locals boozer with a rich mixture of people, a good pub atmosphere and a decent pint of real ale, last time we were in with the wifes(most unusual) after a night out up west, and although I'm only in once or twice a year, I've always had a good night and good ale, Trainman must have been really unlucky or got a grudge vinnnie - 22 Jan 2010 09:48 |
| Now I have to say that living in London for most of my life, this is the type of pub I would have avoided going into. It looks a little menacing from the outside. The kind of place where you expect o see everyone turn round as you enter and eye ball you till you leave. However, I was pleasantly surprised. In and around Waterloo it is difficult to find a traditional pub which isn’t trying too hard (and failing) to be gastro chic. Full of city boys or uber skinny girls. A fairly eclectic mix of people coming through, some for after work drinks and others who looked like they were settling for the evening. So eclectic in fact that some of us wondered whether this was this was a gay bar in disguise. Another good sign was the sprinkling of miserable ruddy faced men propped up at the bar, who were locals. ...staring up at the tv. There were no problems getting served, by a bar man// landlord who seemed very nice and tolerated 12 or so rowdy kiwis. All the regular beer on tap including a nice guest ale, which went down very well. All reasonably priced, 4 beers for just over a tenner. Also a good selection of sprits although I didn’t hand around long enough for the shots. With kiwis being some of the most uncouth travellers to come to these shores, there was quite a bit of excitement about the crisp selection. It seems that roast beef and mustard is the way to go if you want to tame a team of all blacks. Sadly the pub never really got busy enough for the buzzing and glass clinking atmosphere that people crave in traditional London boozers. I think if we hadn’t been there I am not sure how they would paid the electricity bill for that evening. My only other concern was the duct tape on the back of toilet...not sure what to say about that other then direct you back reference about the clientele. FTB2 - 22 Jan 2010 09:24 |
| An attractive exterior with the old Truman logo, see photo above. The interior is a bit "Life on Mars", reminding me of many pubs I frequented in my early drinking days some 30 years ago. Two room layout with the pool table dominating the bar, a couple of blokes were playing darts. The lounge side has banquette seating with the bar opposite, Sky Sports News showing the few football results on a wiped out Saturday due to the freeze up. The walls are decorated with lots of old photos of the area plus a few framed old adverts. Pretty down to earth but friendly. They do Pie and Mash here, not sampled by me. Three pumps, one reversed, Pride and something by Wychwood, which was ok and at £2.60 good value. Maldenman - 10 Jan 2010 12:12 |
| Reading some of the previous posts I was expecting a nostalgic trip down Cold Blow Lane.Much to my surprise,the clientele were friendly with a mixture of locals,tourists and young professionals with a fair smattering of totty.Bar service was efficient and the two ladies running the karaoke after 9pm were fun.Two handpumps with only one dispensing on my visit but the Springhead Polar Bear( good value at £2.60) was in fine condition and the pints flowed down to no ill affect.Front bar is reasonable size and its easy to get a seat,while the smaller back bar has a pool table,seperate counter but few seats.The gents was clean ,so hard to give any creedence to the recent negative posts about this traditional local.
