Visited 11/08/25. Visited previously 15/01/20.

No cask. Keg offering of First Drop session IPA from Shepherd Neame, Orchards View cider, Amstel, Moretti, Victoria Malaga, Carlsberg, Neck Oil, John Smiths and Guinness.

Recently reopened after a period of closure for restyling and refurbishment. Now a venue where the bar is an island in the centre of the venue. Bare boarded throughout and with some tall stool seating around the sides of the wooden fronted bar counter. Seating is via some banquettes and regular chairs around a mish mash of tables. Retained some of the old features, wall coverings and fire grates, sections of bare brick wall, beamed ceilings and backstreet feeling of the place. Didn't feel anywhere near “a pub of the area” and its history of my previous visit of some five and a half years ago, but I guess it is what it is for the area right now, where it was good to see it had a healthy attendance on my mid Monday evening visit.

Classic East End pub in looks, small with an island bar and a basic keg only beer selection, I sidestepped the John Smiths Smooth going for a Birra Moretti. Of its type it's not a bad pub.

This pub has a history dating back over 200 years, though I suspect that it was rebuilt in the 1930s, with some very attractive faience tiling to the fascia. It’s also nestled in an area where once there would have been dozens of workers’ pubs, mostly demolished, but still an area littered with recent conversions; the building opposite was the Rose & Crown, RIP 1999.
The reviews below still stand up, thankfully. There’s the green carpet, with gnarled brewers’ Tudor-style black beams to the walls with rough, white plaster or nogging. There are still copper items hanging from the ceiling, horse brasses, black and white photos of boxers and bucolic aquatints; the cartwheel still occupies its Damoclesian location. There’s a raised area to the right with studded banquettes, thereafter conventional furniture with smooth banquettes out front. As mentioned, it looks a bit like a country pub, in the style made popular in the ‘60s and ‘70s and nothing wrong with that; an interior photo from 2011 gives a good impression. There were a couple of unobtrusive games machines and a great 1970s’ disco soundtrack playing at a lively volume over the gramophone. Customers are still as described, a very chatty local crowd, probably diminishing in number in an area undergoing gentrification by the metallic graphite-coloured Audi-owning classes, otherwise Asian. Plenty of banter here, from a lively crowd with a very varied age range. I didn’t spot an ashtray, but one bloke was blasting copious clouds of vape smoke skyward, like a human version of Eyjafjallajökull.
Sadly there’s no real ale, though John Smith’s has raised its flat capped head above the parapet, me opting for a half of Fosters (£2.40), served by a very friendly Cockney barmaid, her complexion the colour of a Terry’s Chocolate Orange.
This is a great throwback to a bygone era; there’s no real ale (which would have got the rating up), but considerably more fun to be had here than at the Old Ship over the road; visit while you still have the chance.
