Expensively refurbished and recently renamed by the Barras chain, this is a very large suburban pub with a central bar. The main space winds around and the shape of the building is such that you can't see from end to end. There is a separate side room that is available for functions. Being situated near to the cemetary/crematorium, there are often funeral parties in here. There are several TVs and a pool table to the front left. Carpeted, mostly but not exclusively standard height and type of seating surprisingly, the pub was pretty busy on Sunday afternoon with plenty of families taking advantage of the budget food menu. Decor includes old scenes of the Merton and Morden area, mostly B&W but with features picked out in colour. Four handpumps, Pride (£3.07), Bombardier and Adnams Bitter with one left unclipped. I confess to being a little confused by the name change, especially as the brook in question is called The Beverley Brook. I wonder if the roundabout outside will change its name to follow suit?
