ReviewThis is a fairly modern feeling pub in an historic building up the hill in "Wimbledon Village". It's a one room place now, wooden floors, angular copper topped bar at one end, bar stools with coat hooks, wooden floors, and lots of exposed old London Stock yellow brickwork....suspiciously in good nick so likely to have been retouched. The seating is generally traditional with tables in fours but there is also a larger oval table, a high table with stools in the window and banquettes around the rear perimeter walls. Lots of prints/paintings of the locality but the original plan drawings of the building I admired previously seem to have gone. I do not know who's "Tap" this once was, despite Googling, but if anyone out there knows I'd be pleased to discover.
A few books on a shelf are hidden away in a secluded rear corner, there is a fruit machine and digital juke box, but they do also have a stock of "London Drinker", always a good sign in my opinion.
The Sky Sports 24 channel on the back wall.....in Italian(?) was reporting further on the England captain (ex).
Five handpumps serving, today we had Pride, Harvey's Sussex Best, Theakston Old Peculiar, Isle of Purbeck Best Bitter, and Downton Honey Porter. This is really as good as it gets around here....Trafalgar excepted.....in a Youngs dominated area.
Cask Marque accredited with the accolade of "The Beautiful Beer Gold "award. There is a Monday evening quiz, and Thursday is tapas night.
Amended to:An end tarrace cottage style white rendered pub, with central entrance
An open plan, small, basic place, in blue decor, with dartboard and pool table. There are a few pictures on the walls, which were mainly sport based and there was a TV, with some dancing programme on. Service was OK and the clientele few but mixed.
Beer; all tap stuff, with a decent enough Banks's MILD. There was no real ale.
Basic place, with no real ale, nothing wrong with it, just wouldn't go out of my way to go back
