This seems to have been built – or converted – in the early 20th century, to close in the late ‘30s, reopening in 1976.
The interior is yet another of Young’s OTT makeovers, trying to look trendy and I suspect it has been done again since the previous reviews, with an all-pervasive green colour scheme, a little bare brick, ‘Yorkie Bar’-style green shiny tiling to the bar back, modern boarded, à la mode light fittings, fashionable prints and hip furniture, all lapped up by a professional thirtysomething crowd, contributing to loud acoustics.
Cask beers proffered were London Original, Gypsy Hill’s Trail and Proper Job at £3.15 a half and good.
With the modern hotel bar-style makeover, this isn’t a great place, but the Proper Job is a rare cask option along Garratt Lane and the best drop consumed along its substantial length.

The Young's design department have clearly had their fun in here, bare boarded naturally, eccentricities of note include an astroturf window cill, cacti on the tables in marmalade orange tins, tables reserved by placing small metal watering cans on top as well as the usual mixed seating which includes one particular high butchers block table with a glass insert top. There is busy wallpaper in two styles, curved booth banquettes to one side, the rear garden features a mural of a steam train crossing a bridge.
There are a few board games, papers on a shelf, food served, lazy Sunday lunches heavily promoted with bloody Mary's, some were partaking yesterday.
Young's beers, just Bitter and Special plus a decent guest in Redemption Pale Ale, tucking under the £4 barrier at £3.99, so that's alright then!
The Redemption was a good drop but the pub is way too heavily madeover for me.
