Fullers’ pub and had three of their beers on handpump, ESB, L Pride and Oliver's Island. A large keg range including some decent craft options. In full, the keg options were Brixton Reliance Pale Ale, Tiny Rebel Easy Livin, Peroni, Amstel, Guinness, Cornish Orchards cider, Jubel peach lager, Asahi, Gamma Ray, Lucky Saint, Vault City CSDP, a marshmallow chocolate Porter from Siren, Kapow pale ale from Hackney, Millions of Berties a blackberry and blackcurrant sour also from Hackney, Diablo a Belgian IPA from Sambrooks and a Thai lager called Kee-Maa from Hindi Brewing Co.
This feels like one of the smaller Fuller's venues, particularly as the back of the venue and which seemed to be primarily there for diners was closed until this evening. The bar counter is along the right-hand side and a couple of the small number of punters in the venue on my visit were sitting on stools at the bar chatting to the bar staff. Elsewhere there were some tan leather banquettes along the left-hand side serving several tables and otherwise some copper topped high tables and regular tables down the middle and dotted around the place. A big feature is the huge clock face mirror feature on the ceiling over the central part of the venue. Quite a few tables and chairs out the front and at the side of the pub.

As mentioned, this was the Red Cow, dating from the early 18th century and rebuilt in the late 1980s, run by Fuller’s.
The interior is one room, but essentially three areas, with the dining room to the rear. The bar is to the right, with white tiles and tubular steel shelving. Indeed, the interior is very modern with an untreated wood floor, high and low conventional furniture with some studded banquette booths. The walls and ceiling are white, with a strange metal framed circular mirror attached to it (see photo). Lighting was at a reasonable level, provided by filament sconce lights with metal shaded lamps over the bar. Décor was predictable, with ugly Six Nations bunting, pot plants, framed prints and an inflatable diplodocus (see photo). Customers were youngish office workers, perhaps having a party and with the loud sound of conversation, loud music and poor acoustics, the levels were too much for me.
The ale front amounted to ESB, Pride and Hophead at £2.55 a half and on the turn, served by a very enthusiastic Thai barman; the food’s Thai and genders are applied to lav doors in Thai writing.
This isn’t really my sort of thing; one night in Bangkok is enough for me.

Nicely described by the previous reviewer, it hasn't changed appreciably since his visit a year or two ago. This is a Fuller's pub, so available ales won't come as a surprise. There were four handpumps, three London Pride clipped (£1.90 a half), and the other ESB clipped. The menu is mainly Thai, with almost everything at £6.95 including rice. There are also a handful of "English" dishes - omelettes at £6.50; sausages & chips at £5.95; plaice & chips £6.95; and steak & chips £9.95.
The main bar area as you enter is bare-boarded with modern replacement boarding, with a couple of tall tables/tall stools in the middle of the room, and banquettes and normal tables and chairs around the sides of the room. All quite typical really. But it's got a bit of an art deco look to it, epitomised by the enormous panelled, metal-framed and decorated mirror on the ceiling. There are a couple of TVs here, only one of which was on (muted) showing some cricket.
At the end of this room is a round vestibule signed "Thai & English Food". This of course leads you into a carpeted room which must be regarded as the dining room, although none of the tables were laid for diners and it wasn't clear whether it was OK to sit in here if you were only drinking. As is the way with pubs specialising in Thai food, the restaurant seems to be a separate enterprise, as you have to order and pay for your food at a food counter at the end of this room, rather than at the bar.
I found this a comfortable enough pub. It's a relatively new build at the bottom of a large office or residential premises. But interestingly the Fuller's griffin is set in teracotta high up on the wall of the building. The stir fry I had was as good as any I've had in a pub for the £6.95 I paid for it, but although the Pride I had was in good shape I didn't think that having just the two ales on was particularly good by Fuller's standards. It was doing a good trade (office workers rather than locals I would say, or perhaps staff from the college next door who seemed to be experiencing a fire drill at the time) when I was in at Wednesday lunchtime. But it's certainly not a destination pub for the pub and ale afficionado, although a good place to stop off if you fancy a bit of reasonably priced Thai nosh.
