Not a remarkable pub by any means. It's quite inoffensive but also quite soulless and without much of an atmosphere. We left after a drink as there was nothing about the place which makes you want to stay, so can't speak for the food, but can imagine it's of the same standard as the pub, which is well below average.

Popped in for a pint and some food whilst working in London. Food was OK, typical Spoons type fayre. Beer was terrible. Cloudy Bombardier and fusty lager. Won't be going back.

Wetherspoons-style pub. OK with large selection of beer. six if i remembr right. Mine was OK but the pub really had no character. Just somewhere to catch a quick pint.

Pretty bland identi-kit pub - pop music on stereo and Fosters on tap - more a holiday camp than a pub.

I quite liked my visit here on Friday afternoon although there were only about five other people in. The barman was very friendly and Greene King IPA, Bombardier, Pride and Old Speckled Hen were all available alongside standard and premium lagers.

There is a plasma screen up in the corner that was showing Sky Sports News, but I didn’t see any sport advertised.

This pub is OK, but there are better pubs in the immediate area.
