Cask was a single hand pump providing Tribute, but the other hand pump was unused. Keg offering was Guinness, Fosters, Heineken, Moretti, Neck Oil, Amstel and Orchard Thieves cider.

U shaped venue with the bar servery against the back wall opposite and slightly to the right of the entrance. The venue is carpeted over to the right of the entrance and in the area in the windows opposite the bar counter, the remainder including the area around the bar counter and to the left of the bar counter is bare boarded. There is some tall, backed stools along the length of the bar counter. The area to the left of the entrance provides a lot of seating in various forms, including down a step at the rear of this area which included a large screen showing the tennis with commentary. In front of the bar counter is a regular seating area in the bay window, most significantly occupied on my visit. To the right of the bar counter is an area with a pool table and a dart board and a TV showing the evening racing. Plenty of fruit machines over in this part. There is outside seating at the front with a variety of patio style furniture, partly paved, partly astroturfed and partially covered to provide some shelter from the elements. Found it hard to warm to this place.

This pub is at least mid-19th century, but I suspect there was probably an older coaching inn incarnation; I would presume the current structure was rebuilt in the 1930s when the area was developed.
You enter across a substantial astroturf front patio into a very brightly lit multi-area room, with pale grey laminate floor or grey carpet with stains; to the left is a games area with pool, games machine and darts. There’s grey paint to the dado then white paint, furniture is modern, swag curtains, TVs aplenty showing the Olympics in silence. The bar array is modern fake Victorian; the only item of heritage is an inconspicuous fireplace with Art Nouveau polychromatic tiled surround. Customers were on the younger side and mainly harmless, apart from one bloke at the bar F-ing and C-ing away like it was going out of fashion.
At least there was some cask here, with a reversed Tribute clip, then Boltmaker at a very reasonable £2.40 a half, in good nick, served by a friendly barman.
Characterless and like a cheap hotel bar, this isn’t a great pub, but it’s miles better than the Osidge.

Slightly out from the centre of Southgate, this is an open plan, split-level pub ticking numerous boxes for its patrons, with pool table (pink and black balls), dartboard, live sports and jukebox. A staple-shaped bar serves a games area to the left, a deep bay window area in front of the bar whose space is under-utilised with the presence of five leather sofas, and a split-level area to the right. Three stumps, with only one ale on (Purity Mad Goose - £4.10 a pint and OK) with a real cider available in the form of Rosie's Pig. Fairly busy on a Sunday arvo visit, it's no world-beater, but it's cost enough inside, even if it does seem a little homogenised and the locals seemed friendly enough.
