Other reviewers get this spot on: this is a pubco pub, but well above average and clearly well run. Four or five real ales on when I visited, although I had a softie. I also noted the good service: a landlady-type figure was behind the bar and working very hard, serving customers promptly and being very solicitous to a rather demanding group of American students sat near the bar. Top service, and good to see when so many pubs can't get service right any more.

Another good traditional pub, a range of real ales including one from Bath Ales (or as they style themselves, bath ales) and also food - beware the steak and kidney pie was huge - I couldn't finish mine but only because there was so much of it. The guvnor does as stated seem to be working very hard and could do with some barstaff on a Saturday lunchtime!

Brilliant pub, understaffed like all chain efforts but the manager is obviously on the ball, and seems to work his socks off. Excellent real ales, good drinks range, food a bit on the dull side, but love the bar snacks and nibbles!! Great customer service, and excellent manners. Much better than the pubs either side!

Recently re-openend following a fire. The interior is lighter and better than before, although it follows the current trend for the annoying (in this reviewer's opinion) high tables that feature in every pub refurbishment.

The range of beers is excellent. They range from Deuchars IPA, through London Pride to Theakstons Old Peculiar (one of the few pubs in London to sell it), there are several European lagers and the usual selection of British brewed cooking lagers. The ales have so far been in tip-top condition with a minimum of four available.

The menu is typical 'pub-company' grub, reliable but lacking imagination.

The staff are friendly and helpful. The clientele a mixture of local residents, local workers and a few tourists.

There are televisions but no Sky Sports.

If you are a real ale lover this place is superb. If you fancy a quiet drink this place is superb. If you are a tourist then this a great example of a British pub, despite not having the historical credentials of some of London's best. If you a lager drinker looking for somewhere to watch the big match, look elsewhere.
