This place seems to be largely unchanged since previous reviewers' visits. The tiny outside seating area is still there on the left; there are more tall tables/tall stools for my taste; a wall at the back is reclaimed and possibly distressed wood from crates or pallets; and the TVs are present of course. There are raised and carpeted areas at the front on either side of the doorway, otherwise the place is bare-boarded.
Being a Greene King pub there were a couple of their ales on - GKIPA and London Glory - with Wimbledon Common as the guest ale. There was also Gwatkin Red Bull cider on draught. There was a pretty standard pubco menu on the tables, including pub grub staples such as sausage & mash (£10.45) and beef & ale pie (£11.95) available. Top notch prices for a basic pubco pub. I also spotted a covered cakestand on the bar counter, with some sort of confectionary under it.
I didn't think this pub was anything special. It's a basic high street pubco pub; but my pint of Wimbledon Common was in good shape.

Still remains a rather bland outlet as described below,if there has been any change over the years I would guess its now more foody than it once was. Four pumps for ale,GK IPA, Abbot and H&H Rocking Rudolph and one clip reversed, to be fair the festive offering was in decent condition albeit a bland offering.I wouldn't plan a revisit.
