Danny O'Revey left this review about The Monkey Puzzle
nothing from the outside, the ground floor of a block of flats its a traditional pub inside, a little unfriendly & the beer, admittedly not to my taste, was a little underwhelming for a Good Beer Guide pub. Nice enough inside though

Blue Scrumpy left this review about The Monkey Puzzle
There's been quite a few reviews for this pub recently, most likely due to its appearance in the latest Good Beer Guide. Whilst I've been to the nearby Heron before and I've passed the Monkey Puzzle many times on the bus to Paddington, I'd never ventured inside until earlier this week.
From the outside, it doesn't look much. There's an actual Monkey Puzzle tree in the small front yard which you'll pass if you use the front entrance on Sussex Gardens. However, there's a second entrance on Southwick Street.
Inside is carpeted, fairly cosy and much more traditional than it would seem from the outside. Being a Hall & Woodhouse pub, the real ale selection is never going to be that exciting. Badger Tanglefoot & Fursty Ferret are the real ales. I chose the Fursty Ferret which was in good condition and reasonably enjoyable.
The landlord spotted that we were all keen on trying the beers and offered us a taster of their keg beer (Outland West Coast IPA). In all honesty, I preferred the Fursty Ferret.

Moby Duck left this review about The Monkey Puzzle
An ugly exterior gives way to a quite pleasant interior, low lit with lots of mid brown wood an comfortable furniture. Just a couple of Hall And Woodhouse beers on, so predictably uninteresting which was the case with my Badger Winters Tale.A nicely don pub but given the beer selection, a return is unlikely.
