A large street corner pub with everything on a grand scale. The woman behind the bar was the licensee, I guessed, from the way she spoke about the pub. She'd seen me taking some photos and apologised for the state of the place, saying it has been due a refurbishment for some time. But I was impressed by the gold-painted capitals on the pillars (see photos); less so by the rugby tat mentioned by the previous reviewer. This was my first pub of the morning, so I had a coffee rather than a beer. I did note Doom Bar and Rebellion Smuggler as the two beers available, with other hand pumps artfully hidden behind a notice about food allergies.

Dating in some form from at least the early 19th century, though most likely rebuilt later in the century, this was originally the Crown, part of the Goose chain since 1996. It’s a large L-shape, with photos on the website’s gallery; sport TV and games machines are big here as is the screaming baby, though thankfully given the size of the pub, I could retreat to a quieter area. What was new to me, was the inflatable Guinness ‘bouncy castle’ rugby goalposts flanking the exit; charming. There are framed prints of the area from yesteryear and Six Nations bunting. Customers were either transient types, old geezers or ladz.
An odd ale selection here, with one unused pump, Doom (reversed), then Marlow’s Rebellion IPA (reversed) and Rebellion Smuggler at a very cheap £2.05 a half and quite a nice, traditional tasting beer, served by a taciturn landlady.
This is a rather downbeat place, which has seen better days; the TVs, Six Nations bunting and gimmicks along with games machines aren’t something that attracts me; on the plus side, the pub has anti-corruption, anti-slavery and privacy policies, so it’s not all bad.

Marston’s EPA, Bombardier, London Pride and Pedigree were the ales on handpump – the latter excellent value at £2.45 a pint. This is a bogstandard pubco pub in the Wetherspoons and Punch mould. The food available featured the usual sort of pub grub offerings at standard London pubco prices, with the glossy menu containing helpful photographs for those of us who don’t know what a burger and chips or steak pie looks like.
There are TV screens all over the place; furnishings are normal chairs, dark varnished rectangular tables, and dark brown plastic covered banquettes.
The beer’s cheap, but otherwise this one isn’t anything special.

This place is nothing special except for the very low prices – Less than £2 for a pint of Deuchars that was very well kept. Youngs Ordinary and Greene King IPA are also available along with some standard lagers. The food is also very cheap so, as you can probably imagine, the pub was mainly populated by OAPs and students.
It's a big pub with plasmas dotted around and premiership football matches advertised on the walls. There is also a paved garden out the back door. I found the managers (?) to be very friendly even though the snow was pouring down and none of their deliveries had arrived.
Imagine a Wetherspoons with sport on the plasmas and you wont be too far off this place.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Goose
Cheap - with three pints of Deuchars IPA coming in at a little of £5 - but had all the atmosphere (and clientele) of an old-people's home.
