Possibly the most horrible experience I've had in a London pub.
A very aggressive woman, who I assume was the owner, had a long racist tirade at my foreign friends for moving a chair (!). Apparently, we're not to move a chair because we're not in our living room, and also where do bloody foreigners think they are, "I'm a Londoner and I know what I like and it's not bloody foreigners" (sic).
Never felt so ashamed, still sends chills down my spine.
Also expensive, filthy, and had a fly in my drink, but after the tirade these were mere details.
Avoid avoid avoid.

I found the staff to be friendly, but my pint of Bombardier tasted of vinegar and was undrinkable. Youngs Ordinary and Adnams were also available along with standard lagers, but rather than ask for a replacement I drank a quarter of my pint and then made a hasty retreat as I found the pub to be rather depressing.

If ever there was a pub you wanted to kick the owners out of a run yourself it's this one.

Terrible beer, staff, state of repair and utterly filthy

I used this ever since God was a boy and it was great. Now it's a bloody state. Told your not allowed to have your beer in a glass outside! Plastic is unhygenic. I shall never ever use the place again.

At least you can get a seat!

We were there last night, and I popped in a coupel of weeks back as well. I honestly think it was fine. The beer was OK if not exactly exotic (Youngs, Adnams, Bombardier), the natives seemed friendly. It isn't wall-to-wall suits apart for an hour or two in the early evening (which is an improvement on half the pubs in the area), and you could both get served and walk from one side of the bar to the other. Nice building as well.
