Single room bar with a reasonable sized outdoor area to the rear. This place feels quite dull inside but is is handily situated on Deptford High Street and it does offer some fairly unusual cask ales and an extensive craft beer selection.

Opening isn't until 3pm during the week (1:30pm at weekends) but the pub seems to have attracted a fairly loyal local following with quite a few regulars congregated at the bar by the time we departed.

The 3 cask ales on when we visited yesterday were Marble Rocket, Ideal Day Banks of the River & Orbit Hakata Red Ale. The fourth handpull was clipped with Lilley's Fire Dancer. Meanwhile, craft beers listed on a board to the side of the bar, were Villages Rodeo, Anspach & Hobday London Black, Two Flints Santiago & Dripping in Eggers Special, Phantom Pickle Party, Deya Steady Rolling Man, Beak Parade IPA, Pressure Drop Ja! & Gameplay, Tartarus Yeti & Pastore Double Crema Dream Cake.

A single room shop conversion with mostly barstool height seating throughout.Pretty much set out as a craft bar with 16 keg taps of A list brewers there are also two handpumps, these were occupied by two craft brewers that are now more than toe dipping in the cask sector, Verdant Penpol and Deya Steady Rolling Man which if a beer can be perfect this was it, superb quality and of course beer, I also had a keg beer from The Kernel, Tropical Stout, also top notch.
A revisit here is a certainty.

Visited 28/08/24.

The venue is a rectangle with the dark wood servery against the left-hand wall mid venue. the floor is tiled throughout, and most in here on my early evening visit were sitting at the bar on high stools. Seating is mainly via tall wall fixed tables down the right-hand wall with tall stools with dark green leather pads. There is a similarly upholstered banquette along the right-hand wall beyond the position of the servery. Lighting is quite low and there were a couple of very busy ceiling fans keeping the punters cool on a warm early evening. There is a Chopper bike fixed to the upper part of the wall opposite the banquette! There is an outside paved seating area with picnic style benches and good cover.

On handpump I noticed Redemption Hotspur, an amber bitter, and Thornbridge Jaipur, an IPA that seems to be quite popular in venues I have been to over the last few months. An extensive craft beer offering, covering a variety of breweries. Have posted a picture of the menu during my visit as a photo as being printed rather than handwritten it should be readable!

Nice addition to the local and upcoming drinking scene around Deptford station that is hitherto very "bar" focussed.
