I’m with jazz_hands on external looks, but well worth a visit just to see the inside, I had a Hooky which was good.

The governor here is probably one of the friendliest I have ever met and although this place is not my preferred traditional pub his hospitality more than makes up for it.

There were two real ale pumps with Hooky Bitter on one (I liked) and Black Sheep on the other, but it was off. Three standard lagers are also available along with San Miguel, John Smiths, Guinness and Strongbow.

It does feel too much like a restaurant for my liking, but I would go back as I enjoyed the company of the staff and the locals.

Visited last night and was very disappointed. Despite two hand pumps there was no real ale and not even any bottled ale. Settled for a pint of Guinness in the end - very poorly dispensed, by a staff member who clearly wanted to be somewhere else. I would avoid this place in the future.

My new favourite pub in London. The world's friendliest staff, a refurb that retains character and fairy lights on the outside. I'd rather drink some puddles than real ale, so the lack of that worries me not. Cider, innit.

Agree with the recent comments here. Very friendly, we were greeted on entry & later on, seeing that we were waiting, the barman actually came out from behind the bar to serve us.

I can’t remember which beers were available, we were drinking draft Grolsch which was fine.

We also had dinner which was very good – some of the items that had been popular at lunchtime were unavailable which was a shame, but this was explained as we sat down so we didn’t set our hearts on something they didn’t have! Presumably this is because the food is prepared fresh daily so when it’s gone it’s gone, also it was a Friday which I suspect will be their busiest weekday lunchtime. I ordered a chicken pie that was delicious, much, much better than standard pub grub.

A really pleasant, relaxed place to spend an evening - drinking, eating or both!
