Wood panelling and wood generally to the fore here. Pretty decent and I am sure old parquet flooring in the base and the right hand side of the U shaped establishment. The left hand side of the U shape housed the pool table and some booth and banquette style seating on that side. The front and right hand side of the U had more conventional table style seating with comfy seats but with the odd banquette and high tables and high stools dotted around that area. The pub was totally opened up but with signs the left hand side could be closed off for a private function as necessary. I understand the venue has been a bit up and down in terms of fortunes over recent times and has only just reopened.

Beer wise there were three hand pumps but only one dispensing during my visit, kicking out Woodford’s Nelson’s Revenge. Lots of keg choices, in no particular Oder and reading from left to right around the three sides of the bar with taps were Gipsy Hill Hepcat and Bandit, Camden Hells and Pale Ale, a Fellowship House lager (again a venue having its own branded beer), Bermondsey Pale from Anspach & Hobday, Henry Weston’s cider (not seen in a pub previously), Guinness, Stella, Corona and a BBNo 11 Mosaic session pale that was delicious. Had to remind myself of the trials and tribulations of BBNo whilst consuming my pint here!

Great this place has made a comeback as not much around here. It is an interesting space trying to do something decent on the beer front and well supported during my visit. If there were a couple of other cask beers on offer this would have been an easy 7 but in the meantime it is a well deserved 6 and a good destination in this part of SE postcodes!

This pub dates from the early 1920s, and was built to service the Bellingham estate. The exterior bears the much loved “brewer’s Tudor” wooden beams that is so often a feature of pubs from this time. Inside it still retains its (at least) two-room format, although when I visited on Saturday afternoon only the Saloon Bar on the right was open for use. This room was a bit of a throwback – carpeted, grubby banquettes, small stools, some standard but mismatched chairs, and some clean wooden and small metal framed tables. The walls are three quarter height wood panelled, with some relatively poor quality wood panelling. There’s a pool table at the back, TVs around the place showing the racing on Saturday afternoon, and numerous games machines.
This is a simple pub in a not very salubrious area, and seems to be a classic case of preservation by poverty, as it doesn’t look as if anyone has thought it worth spending any serious money on in the last 80 years. It is very likely to be included on CAMRA’s London Heritage Inventory.
The only ale on was GKIPA (£2.60 a pint), and I’m not surprised to say that I didn’t see any sign of food. This pub is worth visiting if you want to see a classic unspoilt suburban inter-war pub, but to be honest I reckon that that is probably the only reason to visit.
