There were a couple of ales on - Doom Bar and Purity UBU (£1.80 a half). I didn't see any sign of food at midday on a Monday. This pub has some nice fielded paneling on the walls to two-thirds height. The bar counter front is also inter-war, and also with fielded panelling, but unfortunately now painted a dark purple. The central island bar has the main drinking area at the front; a smallish room through a doorway on the left; leading to a further room at the back where the panelling has been painted a bright aquamarine colour. I chose to sit at the front, preferring the purple bar counter to aquamarine walls. There is some further booth seating behind the servery. This is a decent pub without being anything special. I could have done without the thumping pop music, and I prefer a more traditional colour scheme, but my UBU was in fine shape and it's certainly worth dropping in for a swift one if you're in Whetstone.
