I visited a long time ago, probably about 34 years, I guess.
Situated a few hundred yards east of the Western Riverside Refuse and Recycling Centre and not that accessible, I didn't go into the pub except to use the loo, but remember sitting with several friends in a none-too-appealing beer 'garden', which was next to the cement works; I doubt I'll return, but nothing's concrete.

Close to the Thames but next door to an aggregates wharf this has the look and feel of a proper pub.The battleship grey doesn't mean it's gastro,there are two seperate rooms with the smaller corner room very charming.There is bench seating in dark red leather,some good etched glass and a woodburner in a recess while the flooring is in dark wood.The island bar is in a lighter wood and the muzak was at a sensible volume.To the other side of the pub is a seperate conservatory,which looks much more like a dining area,while outside there is a burger shack on the way to seating overlooking the river.There is another seating patio on the opposite side of the building.
There is a pub snack menu in the smaller side room,while the 5 handpumps were drawing Youngs Bitter and Special,St Austell Proper Job,Truman's Bow Bells and Five Points XPA (first pint out was a little dusky,£5.20).
I enjoyed my visit,it's one of the better Thames Path pubs and I could invision a revisit for the three guest ales rather than the Youngs rubbish.

Slightly hidden away from the beaten track, as with most pubs in the area this is a Youngs pub, it has two rooms which have a modern feel but manages to maintain comfortable pubby ambiance, wood boarded flooring, a mix of seating including leather clad benches, small circular tables and stools as well some bar stools. Five handles on the bar providing the expected Youngs duo of Ordinary and Special, as well as Sambrooks Wandle and more pleasingly Purity Bunny Hop and Adnams Mosaic, the Mosaic was fine,not so the price at 4.95 a pint. Price aside I found it a nice pub with a better than expected beer selection, I would look in again.
