This is a fairly unremarkable pub, but it was pleasant enough sitting on one of the armchairs at the rear whilst flicking through a ‘London Drinker’ that I had picked up earlier in the day. The bar area at the front is pretty basic, but there is a selection of draught beers along with Staropramen and three ales. The governor wasn’t the friendliest and he reminded me of Arkwrite as he mashed the keys on the old style till to deposit my money, but the barman was nice enough and my Guinness was well poured. There is a plasma screen which was off during a football match so I gather there is no Sky Sports. However, there is a jukebox which was playing a decent few songs at a reasonable volume. The toilet downstairs is a little grim and there was no toilet paper or soap which was a little annoying as I could have done with not having to wait until the next pub before the big purge. This place is ok, but I think that there are better pubs in this area so I don’t see myself returning.
