Used to visit here a lot but last night was the first time for ages. Only saw GK IPA on. Long bar area with a pool table at the left hand end.

Bizarrely enough we used to meet in here before going to the Wenlock for the Thursday quiz. Didn't take too long to realise we may as well cut out this place.

Great pub with good food and the warm staff make it a great night out.
If your an Arsenal supporter you will indeed love it.

This modern estate pub is comfortable enough but is hardly a place that oozes character. The interior is fairly uninspiring with the usual run of games machines, pool table, juke box and a couple of Gooner shirts on display. The basic but reasonably priced beers (London Pride / Green King IPA) were quite well kept but I was rather put off by the local punters whose loud and limited vocabulary was matched only by the staff. The Thai kitchen is reasonably priced although the Cocktail menu would probably be of more interest to the Obscene Publication Squad. Overall a rather common and functional pub geared to the younger football and pool brigade. There is little else around here to attract outsiders so I wouldn’t recommend making a specific trip.

A friendly pub with well kept real ale and a good value wine list. Thai food served lunch time and evenings or for a good nibble try the prawn crackers at £1 for a large bag.

Very decent pub

Maybe limited ale selection but at least it has IPA, a decent one...
Thai window at the back makes a unique touch. Had a meal and it was very decent food.
Staff friendly, with a pool table and jukebox to add to differing taste. Nice on a chilled out evening, don't know what is like on a busy evening. But would return...
