| This pub still retains its 3-bar format. The Private Bar is not connected to the other two. But the Meal Room (a new one on me) is connected to the Public Bar by an archway, with the former being used as a pool room, with one table. There’s a dartboard as well as a pinball machine (Spiderman) in the Public Bar. Ales on were Young’s Bitter and London Pride; I had the London Pride (at £2.90 a pint) which was not particularly good, although drinkable. This struck me as very much a locals’ drinking pub. Not the sort of place you go to for a taste of comfort. I didn’t venture into the Private Bar, but the Public Bar only had a couple of tables and a few stools. This is very much a basic backstreet boozer (although it’s very visible from the trains on the Waterloo line). The clientele were a bit basic as well – workers from a local builders by the look of them – but this is an observation, not a criticism! Worth dropping in to see the sort of boozer that was commonplace 30 to 40 years ago, but I don’t feel any great compulsion to return. RexRattus - 25 Jul 2009 22:51 |

| Proper locals pub. Decent pint of ale too. Friendly landlord. Anyone interested in the name of the pub....the landlord told me that its the Country house first an foremost..the jack beard bit is just the chain and the fog is a nickname as another poster outlined. If you are in Earlsfield this one is worth seeking out. nickthefish - 20 Sep 2008 08:40 |

| Not a scary pub at all. A proper pub though with a confusingly layered name, something like Jack Beard's at the Fog (the Country House). It's called the Fog because as it's near the station, homeward rail commuters would pop in here for a quick half or three, and phone their wives to tell them they were 'stuck in the fog'. beeronaut - 25 Aug 2006 13:33 |
