This fairly plain corner pub with three star heritage interior is a little underwhelming, but its history as described on the CAMRA website is interesting. It was reconstructed by Watneys in 1955 having been destroyed by enemy bombing in the war; obviously an important military target. The two entrances lead to different rooms, as I found out the hard way, having not read the previous review. The wood work around the plain bar counter is nothing like the opulent stuff we're used to seeing in London's Edwardian pubs, but it's interesting nonetheless. No cask beer, though, so I went for a half of Guinness (£6.20/pint).

A classic inter war years exterior,the interior probably dates from the 50's and I was drawn here by the CAMRA Historic Pub of National Importance listing,which I felt was a bit over the top.There are however two destinct rooms,a saloon entrance down Lytham Street and a public bar entrance in Merrow Street.The saloon is the more interesting room with a fine bass mirror,original bar back and Watney's signage and tiling around the bar.Through an arch is a back room with some comfy chairs ,other traditional furniture and a serving hatch but sadly the sliding doors here have been lost.The juke box had some good tunes at a sensible volume,the corridor to the loos has attractive doors and there is a pleasant beer garden.
I spotted a Bass handpump and asked for a pint but the feisty landlady simply poured a pint of keg Courage Bitter from another tap ,without explaining that the Bass handpump was for decoration as it matched the mirror.A price of £3.30 didn't soften the blow of a poor keg beer and I didn't appreciate the seeming deception.
This is a family run estate boozer,with mother,daughter and baby grand daughter also joined in the saloon by a step sister.The landlady berated a Deliveroo lad for rushing to the gents without asking to use it,his helmet still in place on his head.
I've seen better examples of a post war pub interior ,and the original features are not really celebrated but it's the only real reason to visit this pub unless you like a strong female character behind the bar,friendly as long as you don't rub her up the wrong way.

Corner pub with two separate rooms with their own entrances. No hand pumps - just keg offerings.
