Visited previously 04/11/24.
Cask here was two from Wimbledon, the SW19 and the WPA. Keg offering of Guinness, Neck Oil, Inch's, original SB, Camden Pale, Fosters, Amstel, Moretti, Cruz, Jubel Peach, Peroni.
Return to this one as saw in the latest London Drinker (Oct/Nov 26) that it had changed hands and now had a theme as a South African sports bar. Indeed, the bar counter was bedecked with a garland of SA flags. Other than that, not sure what the SA angle was, albeit I didn't see the menu! The venue is U shaped with the bar counter following the internal shape of the venue. Bare boarded apart from a carpeted section on the right-hand side. Seating generally via studded brown leather banquettes serving regular tables around the perimeter apart from a couple of tall tables served by tall stools in the front right-hand corner. Plenty of TV screens showing recorded weekend footy action in silence, sound provided by a crowd pleaser soundtrack. There is a paved area at the front with picnic benches. Two dartboards side by side in the rear left-hand corner with a purple baize pool table sitting in front thereof. Ceiling fans rotating vigorously seemingly pretty much waste of energy on a rather cold late afternoon visit.

Four hand pumps offering Black Sheep bitter, London Pride, Hobgoblin Gold and Lilley's peach cider. Keg offering of Moretti and the Sale di Mare unfiltered version, something called Korev lager, Inch's cider, Guinness, Amstel, Peroni, Neck Oil, Asahi, Brixton Reliance Pale Ale and Signature Brew Roadie.
Pleasant pub with an outside seating area. Inside the bar counter is an attractive protuberance off the wall opposite the entrance with stool seating particularly on the long side in front of the entrance. Polished boards throughout with some booth seating along the front windows and around the left-hand side, there were also similar behind the bar in the left-hand side of the venue. Several TV's were showing Monday evening Premiership footy on my visit. A chunky leather sofa sat in front of the non-operational fireplace against the right-hand wall inside the front door. Subdued lighting here made for a pleasant venue to sit and watch the footy. All round thought it was a decent venue.

This dates from the late 19th century but I suspect was rebuilt in the 1930s, yet another public house reference to the eponymous family that once owned lands around Wandsworth. It also overlooks a car showroom that resembles Beaulieu Motor Museum, with a selection of mainly Ferraris, all totalling tens of millions of pounds.
The interior is essentially modern and can be seen on Google and their gallery, resembling a standard restaurant not a pub. There were just a few somewhat young drinkers in on my Saturday visit at nearly 10.00pm, but what was inescapable was the unwatched sport, played through the Hi-Fi with deafening commentary then adverts.
Cask amounted to Doom, Portobello Home Turf and Star at £2.80 a half and actually not bad, served by a bored-looking barmaid.
With the interior appearance, ambience and deafening adverts, this was a very poor experience; the superior Gardeners is next door.
