No cask here. Keg offering was Fosters, Carlsberg, K1664, Guinness, John Smiths, original and dark fruits SB.

Small venue on the Barking Road. Bar counter is against right-hand wall in front part of the venue with a small seating area in front thereof in the front window. Otherwise, it is standing only in the front part with a ledge along the left-hand wall to perch your pint on. There is a TV on the wall opposite the bar counter but not in play on my visit, but there was an active jukebox. At the back of the venue was a slightly larger (in relative terms) seating area with a few fabric upholstered benches and some small tables. Knew it was my sort of place when I saw they still had their Xmas tree in place! Floor was terracotta tiled and it was certainly a quirky venue in a very good way. As a beer destination though below average and scored accordingly!
