| I have been in this pub twice and the contrast on each occasion was stark. On the first occasion my wife and I went in on a Saturday afternoon and although a bit empty it was fine. The next time I went on my own on a Sunday afteroon at about 12.30. The place contained about six regulars who looked at me as though I had six heads. I got my beer and read a paper but I was well aware that I was being regularly stared at. It was so creepy that I actually snuck out when no one was looking. I won't be in a hurry to go back. norwoodeyes - 3 Aug 2009 13:14 |
| I would ordinarily find it very difficult to be complimentary about a pub that had no cask ale, but I was very taken with this place. Superb old dark-wood panelled pub and bar, curved bar area runs between saloon and public (as you’ll call ‘em down ‘ere), the whole bar-length (maybe 60ft all told) boasts an overhang with lead-light glass panels and a shorter, lower, section of the same made into ‘snob-screens’. Darts and pool were active, in a good way, on the public side of the bar ‘divide’ with participation by the friendly and effervescent new guvnor. The lounge has studded leather-backed surround settles and tables/chairs/barstools in good condition. Whisper it quietly, but I was so enamoured with the place that I stayed for a 2nd drop of keg OBB and I tried the SS reserve cider, which is more than acceptable. The guv, by the way, seems very keen to get in cask OBB so I, for one, will happily go back to check progress. trainman - 28 Apr 2008 16:01 |
| One of the better pubs in Penge. Loads of potential.Loved the Organic lager and tried the Sam Smiths bitter @ £1.50 a pint. Landlady pleasant and attentive lennytheredlion - 22 Oct 2006 10:39 |
| I think the beer is great - proper stuff rather than the foreign chemical shite! New management now too, so improved heaps! Good home-cooked food at good prices, and a great beer garden out back. anonymous - 23 Jun 2006 10:27 |
