Dropped in yesterday afternoon whilst on a crawl along the river and three of the four handpumps were turned around and the fourth announced that it was having it's pipes cleaned. I'd have stayed for a lager but the others wanted to move on. Called back later around 7pm and people were queuing three deep to get served. Bit of a rubbish pub but nice looking and gets by on it's location and the outside seating area.

Popped in on Friday afternoon. Never saw the place pre-refurb so will take it at face value. The pint of Bombardier I had was fine. Admittedly the bar staff have a bit of an English deficiency but smiling and pointing at what you want does the trick? Had a £7-8 stuff-your-face carvery upstairs which was very good and excellent value for the location.
Not the best pub in London, it’s far too dull for that, but I left satisfied. I wouldn’t make a specific point of seeking it out again but would pop back in on a quiet day if passing.
