A funny one this. I worked for 9 months immediately opposite this boozer and never once went in, for the purely aesthetic reason that it was on the ground floor of a council estate and from the outside it always looked a bit grim. Just shows you to never judge a book by its cover, because this is really a very decent pub serving standard lagers alongside a couple of ales (Sambrooks Wandle and one off). Its got a welcoming, convival atmosphere and an interesting, alternative interior of bare-boarded wood and assorted nik-naks. I didn't mind it at all and would return.

Superb well cooked food and great friendly service. Forget the looks of the place it's great..nice to have table service for drinks as well.

Update for cider drinkers: the Nelson has dropped that awful Strongbow chemical reaction and now serves Thatchers Gold, which is worth the admission price alone.

This pub has a great atmosphere and a really adventerous menu "Zebra anyone". Friendliest owners your ever likely to meet, seeing people who really care about their establishment as apposed to chain managed bars is always refreshing but these guys go that extra step.

A great bar.

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.
