| I like this pub. The pool table costs just 60p a play and the Internet Jukebox is good value too. glenfarg - 11 Nov 2011 01:15 |
| I have been going to this pub for many years and it has remained strong to all the pubs shutting down in penge and inside it has a nice irish feel which makes you think you are in ireland and the people stay regular and they will welcome you when you go in and they give bottled coke instead of draft and at cheap prices to and what it lacks in decoration it makes up for in charm and i hope it remains opened for many years Buildstone - 6 Jul 2011 13:22 |
| I have been past this place literally hundreds of times without going in but, encouraged by the recent favourable reviews, I broke my journey to have a look. With a great act of faith it is possible to see that it might make a good local. Certainly the service was prompt and friendly. And it was mid-afternoon with only a few idlers watching nags over the sticks on the TV which is not the best time to judge. But, boy, you do have to like dirt and mess to feel at home here! The chairs had a layer of grease and dirt on them that called for oilskins. One sofa actually had more stuffing on show than plastic covering. Unless one review reports a new approach to furniture I think I will continue to see it only from the bus window. guayabera - 15 Feb 2010 13:27 |
| I have just moved into the area from another part of Beckenham and now use this pub as a regular haunt ....why ??? ok , it might look a bit dinghy from the outside , but when I walk into it sometimes the Fire is lit and I get the warmest of welcomes from Landlady all the way down to the customers. The Guinness is FIRST class and one sup and its gone quality. , The toilets could do with a bit of a facelift , no food , just bar snacks , good pool table and always a race or a match on the TV. give it a go and you will be pleasantly surprised........ cossy52 - 11 Dec 2009 11:58 |
| The frosted glass windows of this corner pub prevent passers-by from looking in and thereby put a lot of people off daring to step in. Who knows what murderers and drug-dealers may be lurking within? But in fact inside is a real treasure: a very civilized traditional pub that has probably changed very little in twenty years. Cosy wood panelling on the walls, wonderful old high-chairs with arm rests at the bar and small tables meant for drinking not eating (as it should be). To my surprise, a real ale was available – Courage Best – and it was in very good condition. One of the windows still boasts that ‘Courage Stout’ is available, and the pub sign (a coat of arms) has probably been hanging there for over half a century. I was especially delighted to see that although hanging flower baskets - that copy-cat curse of the modern pub – were present, all the flowers had been left to die long ago. Whitbread Best Bitter was offered on keg: is there really such a ghastly 1970s beer still being made? Somebody should slap a preservation order on this place: it's a real breath of fresh air after all the chain pubs, Wetherspoons, etc. It must not change! karloff - 9 Nov 2006 17:46 |
