No cask. Keg offering of Cruz, Amstel, Moretti, Inch's cider, Old Mount berries & cherries cider, Guinness, Brixton Reliance Pale Ale.

New venue in this chain for me. Apparently opened last summer. Bar counter is down left-hand side and you need to sign up to be a member (can do that at the bar on first visit - don't recall that was a thing years ago on visits to their venues in London). Red tiled skirt at bar counter but other than that a nice modern wooden floor. A few booths on wall to side of start of bar area, other than that some tall tables with metal stools and regular tables. There are a lot of TV's here showing sport as you would expect. The ones opposite the entrance were showing adverts for the venue or turned over to some electronic dart game, the ones on the right-hand wall opposite the bar were showing recordings of past weekend footy action. The area to the right of the entrance was a long room with a number of pool tables, most of which were seeing action immediately post work time, although the obvious demographic here at this time was more student. Music rather than sport commentary was the soundtrack, mostly late 70's / early 80's during my swift half to move onto planned venues.
