Visited 09/07/26

No cask. Keg offering of Camden Pale Ale, Alpacalypse, Staro, Jubel peach lager, Madri, Aspall, Pravha, Guinness, Modelo, Kopparberg crisp apple cider, and their house Corp lager.

Central bar area just inside the entrance and has service on three sides in the middle of the venue. Original concrete flooring with regular tables and chairs both sides of the front entrance plus a banquette under the front windows either side of the entrance. There are some retail units also sharing the space and a healthy amount of greenery generally suspended from the industrial ceiling. There are a couple of pool tables the far side of the bar counter and some standing tables in the far corner presumably to perch your pint on whilst playing. Out the rear is a large beer garden, generally paved with shed loads of picnic benches and some food outlets dotted around the left-hand side. A large tent in the centre of the space housing many picnic benches clearly enables the venue to host large numbers even in inclement weather days (not today unless you fancy getting out of the sun but be outside). Screens were switched off on my visit and a 70/80's pop soundtrack was prevelent.
