No cask here. Basic keg offering of Moretti, Guinness, Amstel, Neck Oil, Brixton Reliance Pale Ale and Inch's cider.

This is a lively venue with an island bar in the centre of the pub with an elongated tile skirt around the bar. There are stools around the bar counter. Beyond that the seating in the front part of the bar is via regular tables and chairs plus some leather banquettes down the walls. The area beyond the bar to the left-hand side is a mish mash of tables and chairs. To the right-hand side of the bar area, the tables are laid for diners and beyond that edge there is an outside covered area that was popular with customers in this generally busy venue on my late evening visit. The bare bricked walls in the front part of the venue were plastered with framed prints of nothing in particular. The venue was busy on my visit in spite of, to my perception, offering nothing particularly special.

Things labelled Bar and Restaurant often tend to the latter, but this at least has a genuine bar with stools, and a smattering of customers on laptops 'working from home' no doubt, so more than just an eatery. The beer range is still a bit rubbish though, with very overpriced Neck Oil and Brixton Reliance leading the way. Not really my cup of tea.

Given that this pub’s original name was the Greyhound, I was inveigled into believing that this was an original pub; how wrong I was, as this is a shop conversion dating from the late ‘90s; if I’d known, I’d have not paid a visit.
Quite a foodie place, the interior is predictable: a modern boarded floor and patterned tiled bar apron, dark blue, grey or white colour scheme with some bare brick. The bar top is marble and there’s some scaffold holding things up, weird, televised log fire on high with eclectic prints. Furniture is conventional, with taller stuff to the periphery and dark blue fluted banquette, the interior lit by dangly light fittings in wire cages with filament bulbs. Customers were understandably local, young, exuberant and along with the relentless omnipresent cocktail shaker, making for quite the cacophony.
There’s no cask, just an unimaginative keg selection, the most exciting offering being the ubiquitous Neck Oil, £3.50 a half, served by a friendly barman.
Acoustics aside, this place was better than expected, but I’d prefer the William.
