Cask amounted to two hand pumps providing TT LL and Immortal Toast, described as a "spicy, fruity and amber ale". Keg comprised Moretti, Cruz, Neck Oil, Jubel peach lager, Guinness, Prime Time session lager, Brixton Reliance Pale Ale & Coldharbour lager, Henry Weston's vintage cider and Amstel.

This is a very grand new location, bare boarded rectangular room with v large arch windows at the front looking out onto Kings Rd. the bar counter is at the rear with a small tile skirt and some stools at the right most end with a drinking ledge on the little bit of remaining wall in the rear right-hand corner. A mixture of seating in the room, ranging from a leather studded banquette in the front to middle right hand wall with a cubicle of sorts next to it with a single table seating eight. Hardly private dining though, but there does seem to be a downstairs space called the Havannah Room. A couple of free-standing round tables in the middle, bookending a rectangular table with crimson leather padded benches either side. Some tables in the front window and along the inset left-hand side, partitioning off the staircase down to the WC's. Very high ceiling, lots of ornate plasterwork and not surprisingly, Nelson portraits. Grand, suspended, multi bulb ceiling lights. There was another room more formally set up for diners through an internal door in the front left-hand corner, with a leather studded banquette along the left-hand wall serving many small tables and some other regular tables and chairs down the right-hand wall separating this room from the main pub space. Would rate a tad higher with another couple of decent cask ales.
