| Can not agree with the last reviewer. Went to the pub yesterday, first time, with a group of friends, the barman (I assume landlord) was very welcoming gave us great service and so did the other staff. The beer was good, Youngs Special, Pride, Landlord, Brains S.A. and a Christmas special, we tasted all of them and they were all fine. The food was only average but overall it was a good friendly pub and we all agreed (8 of us) that we would use it again. Randyray - 6 Jan 2010 15:18 |
| Do not go to this pub! The owner is vile (and violent to innocent stragers), most bar staff incredibly rude and atmosphere awful. Worst experience I have ever had in a pub. Dilbert_drinker - 21 Dec 2009 10:15 |
| Characterful old-style London pub still looks as it probably did 50 years ago. Decent beer range. Very quiet when we visited mozzzzzz - 13 Nov 2009 15:39 |

| They had Brain’s Skull Attack; London Pride; Adnam’s Bitter, TT Landlord; and Jenning’s Cumberland ale on. I had the Brain’s SA, which I had never tried before, and thought it was excellent. I believe that this is a Mitchell & Butler pub - they had a second clip on each of the handpumps with a few tasting notes on the ale in question, plus the price and ABV. I think this is a M&B trademark. All the beers were under £3, with the Pride being a very competitive £2.60. This is a small, one-room pub. There’s a rather nice bar back, retaining what looks like the original mirrors in place advertising Skol Lager; Long Life; and Double Diamond. Luckily these crimes against brewing are no longer available! There’s an attractive fireplace at the back alongside the bar; a TV screen of course, but not on when I visited on Wednesday lunchtime; plus a fruit machine and games machine. Furniture is a combination of high stools/tables, banquettes and normal tables and chairs. There were only a handful of tourists in, so was fairly empty. The service was friendly enough, and they do decent ale at decent prices. It’s a comfortable enough pub, and gets the thumbs up from me. RexRattus - 8 Aug 2009 22:53 |
