I don't think that this pub has improved since the previous reviewer's visit a couple of years ago. There were clips on three of the handpumps for Doom Bar, GK IPA, and Timothy Taylor Landlord. The Landlord was £2.25 a half, served well short, and in very poor condition. Thank goodness I didn't ask for a top up. There was a simple menu on the tables, including an all day breakfast at £6.95, with sarnies ranging from £3.95 (BLT) to £6.95 (steal & cheese). Beefburgers are £8.95. I didn't see any Chutney Jane branding or menus in the pub itself.
The pub is a very simple affair; a pool table as you enter; normal tables and chairs down the left with the bar counter on the right, with some slightly better quality furnishings down at the back. This is a pub that I've walked past on many occasions, and on a whim decided to venture insides. It was cold and dingy on a wet and cold April day. I think I'll walk past in future.

Beaten-up and scruffy interior with a remarkable stench of damp. Enter to immediately confront a pool table and that gives you an idea of how this place operates. Three pumps displaying Doom Bar, GK IPA and Tim Taylor Landlord. My half of the latter was a rancid pea souper which tasted of farmhouse scrumpy. On its immediate return all I got was a shrug, told that the others were off and I could have a Blue Moon as replacement even though 'it is more expensive'. Wow, how generous! Despite a mutterance about changing the barrel after I harped on, nothing happened and I suspect they were waiting for me to shove off before attempting to palm it off on an unsuspecting customer later. Anyway, I think this one won't last much longer in its current guise – if at all.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Blue Eyed Maid
Even more run down than on my previous visits, this one has very basic furniture and decor in the narrow rectangular bar and slightly more upmarket rear dining area now operating under the Chutney Jane brand. Apart from that, it's just three large sports TV and a few tables out in the side alley to note. All three of the handpumps - with reversed Greene King IPA, Doom Bar and Landlord clips noted - were off, but for once that didn't matter since I had a voucher for a free pint of something otherwise 'reassuringly expensive'.
