A big lump of a pub, a large single downstairs room with upstairs seating available. Four handpumps with just London Pride and Lillys Mango Cider available with a mix of premium lager and craft on keg. TV sport was on but muted with music also on at the same time. The service was relaxed and laid back with a couple of used tables left unattended. Can't see a reason for a return visit.

A relatively-sympathetic modernisation of a good old pub, retaining some original features in the high-ceilinged bar including some attractive ceramic work. The mismatched tables and chairs perhaps don't quite go but otherwise a nice pub. There is also a function room upstairs (not visited) and pavement tables outside. Ales on were TT Landlord, a house beer from Truman and Doom Bar.
