Luckily it has started doing real since the previous poster’s visit. They had Spitfire and London Pride on during my visit. I saw a sign advertising Thai food in the evenings, and Sunday roasts for £6.50. Also advertised were quiz nights on Sundays, and live music on Saturdays.
The building looks like a late Victorian edifice to me, but inside the only thing left from that time are the cornices on the ceiling, which gives a clue as to the original multi-room layout of the pub. But it’s not too bad for all that, and a darn sight better than its near neighbours. Seating is green upholstered banquettes, small stools, and normal chairs, as well as a mix of small round, and rectangular tables. There’s a lot of bric-a-brac around the place, some pretty tatty, but some interesting nonetheless. On the bar gantry there’s all manner of stuff, including model elephants, jugs, paraffin lamps, etc, etc, and behind the bar counter there are what looks like three large model Swiss cottage fronts. Very strange. There was a TV on showing some daytime TV rubbish. It’s not a brilliant pub, but it did have a couple of real ales on, which is a bit of a result in this part of the world, and the Pride I had was OK. It’s not worth going out of your way to visit, but alright for a pint if you happen to be nearby.

Large corner local which did not have any real ale unfortunately.They have Thai food available in the evenings (6pm-11pm) but the kitchen is closed on Tuesdays. would have given this pub a higher rating if they had sold real ale
