This is a pleasant locals pub on a fairly quiet stretch of Long Lane. Four hand pumps along the left hand side of the bar counter, and the two people sitting in front of them didn't mind too much when I asked them to shift so that I could see what beers were on, and again a minute later so that I could get my usual photo of the three beer pump clips and one cider. I went for the repetitively named Belleville Bellevue Mild 4% (NBSS 3, £4.50/pint), which only got that score because there was nothing wrong with it that the cellarman could have put right. The other two beers were bitters from Marble and Siren, so customers who like their beers pale and hoppy would be looking at the "tap list" on the blackboard. Actually, that was quite an interesting list. Not that I was tempted.

Had the Burning sky Dark Mild at 3.2% and it was quite delicious. The fish cheeks and chips were also good.

Half gastro, half pubby bar is probably the best way to describe it, there were two ales on offer, Black Sheep Bitter and Southwark Bankside Blonde, I had a pint of the latter at £5.80, in fair condition. The place was busy on a late sunny Saturday afternoon, the lone barman struggled to keep up, not only with serving drinks but also tasked with delivering the good looking food to the tables, help arrived twenty minutes into my stay and normal business resumed.
I didn't think it was a bad place but not really good enough to draw me back for another visit.
