Found this gem of a pub just over 3 years ago and can't get enough of it. The Harvey's beer is lovely particularly the Old Ale and all very well kept. Nice treat to find the Christmas Ale on hand pump in December and in bottles to stash at home! The food is also very good. Big portions of locally sourced, home cooked grub, massive ploughmans, game pie and the seasonal Sunday roast boasts grouse, partridge, duck, rabbit you name it, and all for very reasonable prices. The clientele are generally quiet folk who enjoy a good pint and the bar staff are always helpful. Generally doesn't get too busy as it's tucked away off the main thoroughfare.

Don't work in the area anymore so my visits are far less frequent. Was good to be back for a couple of pints last night -the Old and Armada were very good. Usual pleasant laid back atmosphere. Frank and John the landlords here know how to run a pub brilliantly and how to keep it that way.

Lovely pub. If the beer is not great it's likely you're not a fan of the southern way of serving beer. Friendly staff, good range of beers, a bit of a local feel. Varied clientele. I will definitely be back

Grabbed a rare weekday lunchtime session at this wonderful pub. Went with a good friend of mine and enjoyed the great atmosphere (almost festive with the Christmas decs still up), excellent food and lashings of Harvey's mild. They still had the Christmas Ale on draught and we had a couple of half pints which were on the house because Frank thought the brew might be past its best. However, tasted lovely to us! Thanks, Frank, you run a great pub. Very civilised and gets all the important things spot on. One hesitates to use the phrase 'real gem' because it's so overused but this is the genuine article.

Visited here in early January and I was most impressed. A regular named Richard chatted away to us during our visit and has since emailed with a list of other London pubs he recommends. We were made to feel very welcome immediately and the two beers I tried from the Harveys range were excellent. I shall be returning very soon!
