seems to be more of a National Trust relic than a pub with ludicrous tourist trap prices to match. £5.25 for a pint of Landlord! one of the stranger pubs I have visited. but possibly worth it to say I have been.

I came here once about 20 years ago so can't really recall it, but the earlier reviews still apply. Back then food was a baked spud with baked beans and Cheddar cheese; food today seems to revolve around chicken and the ubiquitous scotch egg.
However, at 4.30 on a Saturday afternoon the place was absolutely rammed, despite the absence of office workers at the weekend - the throng may comprise students from the nearby Guy's and King's College campus; we could barely get in and the ambient noise was incredibly loud; little children were running around in the beer patio. Added to this, the stench of stale urine in the lavatories was about the worst I've ever experienced in a pub; I could have vomited.
Despite the presence of GK IPA and Abbot, there were four other ales and more adventurous than those listed below but as this was such an awful experience overall, I walked out.
In short, a place in which to stick your head round the door then go somewhere else.

Old pub that is owned by the National Trust. Worth a visit on that basis for me and 5 beers on was a bonus. I tried the house George Ale and it was fine. Bigger than it looks and extremely busy.
