Apart from Terry the manager no one can serve a decent pint here. And the cellarman must strain the real ale through his socks. The staff are arogant and useless and this relies on its position for trade. Stay away if you like a decent cheap pint. You'd often be quicker brewing your own!!!!

Since it lost its wetherspoons status this pub has got better and better. Excellent beer - Ridley's Rumpus at �1.65!!!!! It's superb! Food also quick and good. Not the greatest atmosphere in the world but for a quick couple of scoops it's hard to beat!!!

Who wrote the above - the landlady. Bitter needs to be sieved before its drinkable - all else OK.

A great local. It's a shame it's changing hands. the beer has been excellent and service excellent and freindly. the Railway Telegraph at Thornton Heath is about to go up in the world!!!

Withe reference to the anonymous licensee's comments. You monologue on why pub's are better now is interesting but we don't all have to agree with you. That is the point of this site. I preferred this pub as it used to be.
The staff are great, as is the food; the beer is good, but expensive. You've taken down the stupid pots and beermats. Well Done! I still preferred it as it used to be however. That is my perogative. I try and use pubs that I like.Plenty of pubs cater for me. You're obviously aiming at a different market. That's fine.
As for the comments about the late Roger Smith lots of people did try and help him. Keep those comments to yourself.
