| This pub has been viewed recently with a view to re-opening,the emphasis would be on real ale in one bar and live entertainment in the other .Nicely situated as competition is sparse in the area,Sanderstead ( just up the hill)) is pub-less and residents would welcome a decent pub.A potential goldmine for an enterprising pub manager.The timescale is six-nine months. slerpy - 17 Jan 2011 09:19 |

| Hmmm, a strange conglomeration of elements. A well-mixed clientele featuring suspiciously polite chavs, psyched-down bookists, pram-pushers, old stoats and fiddly weasels. Bar staff very pleasant. Beer standard. Prices okay. Quite a large building once you go off exploring, looking for the bogs. I couldn't quite fathom this place, and nor could Mrs C, who has quite a nose for this sort of penetrative skill. Maybe Sunday afternoon is a peculiar time here, a period of subdued transformation. Or maybe it's simply a cool place where all sorts are welcome and respected. Codrotten - 18 Dec 2007 19:56 |

| I used to be a regular at the pub back in 90-92 before I moved to Caterham. It was primarily a working man's pub though the lounge side was fairly busy on weekend evenings. George and Mary Prince were the publicans at the time and did a great job with what clientele they had to work with! If anyone that reads this post knows their whereabouts I would be grateful if they would post it as I would like to get in touch with them. And if any of the other regulars managed to hear about the internet (let alone learn to read-Darren, Nick and Ali I'm thinking of you!) drop in a line and I will check back.
