unpretentious sort of pub with excellent well served cask ale ,got a few well worn chesterfields thrown around and a few well worn customers,including myself. I like it alot. I would change the lagers on offer , as it might be hard to get my Lager swilling mates to come back in here with me.

Watched the WC semi final here on Wednesday. Nice pub, Good atmosphere and friendly staff and regulars - one was a touch to friendly, joining our group by sitting in the middle of us, but he was wearing a fascinating shirt!
Good ales available, shame not a better choice of Lagers, are Carling, Carlsberg or Fosters mandatory in English pubs. If you are looking for something a bit different in this area of London, it is well worth a visit.

After spending my teenage and university years drinking in proper pubs I was disappointed when I moved to Battersea 7 years ago to find that virtually every pub was in fact a trendy wine bar with ridiculous prices and the same old suits and Sloan rangers. Fair enough, those bars can be fun on a big night out but are rubbish for a few beers with mates. I've tried a few 'old school' pubs in Battersea but most are just really rough. I was bowled over when I saw this pub though. Finally I've found a proper local pub in Battersea that isn’t really rough.

Been a few times now and yet to see anyone wearing a suit. Great mix of people: some young, some old, makes nice difference from sitting in a bar where everyone is about the same age, wearing the same clothes, talking the same rubbish.

Friendly bar staff who remember you between visits, regulars you can chat too, great chairs and no wanky lighting or white leather bar stools etc. A proper pub.

Slightly disappointed that they don't serve Stella but the range of real ales makes up for it.

Sorry - one other thing. No food but they have a selection of take out menus and you can have it delivered to the pub - saw some pizzas come in looked (and smelled) lovely.

Its a while since I have reviewed this, my favorite pub in London. I was in last night 8 hand pulls on most micro's, excellent, great to see the lines being cleaned after one went and not simply swapped over with a rinse. Busy as usual but not heaving - although be aware this pub is hugely popular for the rugby, go on an England international day if you are a lover of the atmosphere but best leave that intimate evening with the better half for a sport free week night (some good wines available). I see a quiz being advertised, Sunday nights, and hear it gets pretty busy with a cider infused bar manager running the thoroughly entertaining show. The pub is comfy with an 'eclectic' mix of furniture, friendly staff, the regulars I have met were all chirpy enough once I got talking to them, and excellent real ales. I notice, steadily, the management seem to be gradually and sensitively refurb'ing, a spot of painting here, a new chair there, I suspect they are undertaking this exercise themselves in the closed hours, given what I saw on BBC 'Inside Out' last year. Horrific that a pub this popular with such a good turnover actually makes so little for the operators because of greedy landlords. I will be back - very soon.
