| Haven't been in the UK since 1998 but I remember this place with great fondness. I never felt more at home in any establishment...not even here in my own city! DenverKid - 6 Apr 2008 08:31 |

| There is little doubt that this is my favourite pub in an rather dour area for imbibing. From the outside it looks like a straightforward local but the quirky and slightly eccentric interior shows great imagination: a good balance between clutter and functional features. The 2 bars have copious amounts of bare wooden floors and stripped brickwork and the walls are laden with everything from clocks to candlesticks, barometers to brasses and a few lanterns, tin helmets and road signs thrown in for good measure. Lots of screens for sport: 4 screens (+ big screen) in the back bar and another 3 in the smaller front bar. Fruit machines in both bars and a dart board in the rear next to a tiny but equally interesting snug recess. Good service with tables being cleared and wiped as soon as anyone left. The only downside was beer selection. Of the 3 hand pumps, 2 were off and only the ubiquitous GK IPA was available. They advertise Guest beers and a few old pump clips were on display so perhaps it wasn’t my day. A pub well worth knowing about if in the area and the short walk to avoid the dreadful pubs near the repulsive Elephant & Castle complex is fully justified. RogerB - 22 Mar 2007 13:38 |
| Quite a nice neighbourhood pub - ie the locals will notice you but in a friendly manner! Food average but beers are well kept. Good place to spend a lunchtime or an evening. malo66 - 13 Mar 2007 18:37 |
