This is a very big pub with a large seating area at the front that incorporates a pool table and a projector screen for showing Sky Sports. A long bar then leads to a much bigger area at the rear which has more seating, another pool table and an additional projector screen as well as two packed bookcases for the more intellectual of the area. It wasn’t very busy during my visit, but it was only Spurs playing on the screens so probably not much interest in this neck of the woods. I found the staff to be friendly and although only Greene King IPA was available as the Abbot was off I did have a nice pint of Guinness from the standard draught selection that stands alongside Amstel and Staropramen. Whilst I was waiting at the bar I glanced at the food menu which predominantly seemed to be pub grub, but the prices were reasonable for the area. I imagine there being a great atmosphere in here for the big games when it is busy, but I think that there are better pubs in this area.
