There were two sets of five handpumps. On one set four were dispensing and providing Five Points Pale, Trafalgar Best from the Otherworld Brewing Co, Quadrant an Oatmeal Stout from the East London Brewing Co and Merlin Blonde from Mighty Oak. The other set of five could only muster a single dispensing hand pump providing Brewers Series from Lacons. Keg range was extensive, dispensed from impressive old style taps on the bar counter. I espied Aspall, the Deep nitro stout from 40ft, Roadie, Lo-Fi and Sunny Afternoon all from Signature Brew, Cobra, Madri, Schneider's Bayrisch Hell, Bitburger and the AF version, Pravha, Lumina from Siren, Dreams a pale ale from Wiper & True, Little Mizzle a session NEIPA from local brewery Neckstamper, Lonkero, Nefiltr from Budvar, Ayinger Altbairisch Dunkel.

The front of the venue is dominated by the rather impressive bar counter which snakes around the left-hand wall providing ample tall stool seating along its length on a patterned light tile skirt. There are regular tables and chairs in the area in front of the bar counter to the left-hand side of the venue with a fabric banquette along the front left-hand side. Regular tables up the right-hand wall with screens off the wall between every two tables. High ceilings the order of the day here also again with nice lighting. The rear of the venue beyond the bar counter area is another modern bare boarded space with some booth style tables on the rear left-hand wall beyond the much smaller bar counter in this space and the tables on the right-hand side slightly raised above the level of the rest of the back of the venue. A DJ booth occupied a small space by the rear door taking you to the rear beer garden, with some covered seating on the right-hand side of the outside space. A very impressive venue.
