This place is a unique! It does look like it hasn't seen a lick of paint since the War but that adds to its charm of a backstreet London pub that hasn't been gentrified or turn gastro - a rarity.
Its rough around the edges but the service and atmosphere is friendly. The quiz nights are the best in Brixton and the beer is good too.
You also have to pay visit to experience it!

The Camel & Artichoke, Waterloo
Serious problems. After several visits colleagues and friends have repeatedly had stomach pains and headaches the next day from drinking the lager and some ales/ciders. The belief is generally that this place does not rinse its pipes properly after cleaning.

Went back again last weekend and I have to say food was fantastic and so I think rosey14 below had a bad day.
Its now under new owners and it has definitely improved. Grear pub and worth a visit.

I agree with Surreygal - This place is rubbish.
I have been going on and off for years its been going steadily downhill which is a shame.
The cocktails are appalling, overpiced and the service terrible.
The Camel, Walrus and Horse pubs near by are better alternatives.

"Quality Food and Drink, Served in a friendly, relaxed pub environment"
is the line on the front of their pamphlet - and it is exactly that.
The food is excellent and the beer/real ale selection great. I had the ploughmans with pork pie and it was superb.
Very friendly owners too. A first rate pub in a sleepy and beautiful part of the South West.

Totally agree with John on the Brewers Fayre refit destroying this once great pub. My grandfather lived locally and was the shove halfpenny champion at this pub for years. Let hope they do a better job on the next refit.

The Horns Inn, Ferndown
Alas this is a prime example of a beautiful old pub in Dorset that gets developement and effectively has its living soul ripped out of its bricks. I lived nearby and remember it being the center hub to the community - now that's all gone.
I have been there and the food and beer are fine but the interior feels like a departure lounge, souless.
