I was drawn here by the CAMRA Historic Pub of National Importance listing,but left a bit underwhelmed.The exterior is the best part With seperate doors to what would have been two,possibly three rooms.These days you enter into a stripped out L shaped lounge area but with a wooden floor and not many original features apart from the wood panelling.The best of the heritage is in the small public bar to the side,although the external entrance door is locked so just drift around.The bar here is more traditional as is the furniture,and the carved wood fetures are pleasing.The corridor leads to a small rear section then delicate doors to the beer garden before a return to the lounge.Food is a large feature here,and the area has gentrified.
Just two ales on Harvey's Sussex Best and St Austell Tribute (just ok,NBSS 2.5,£5.30) and that nothing too exciting.There is a pub quiz and thankfully the sports flatscreens were off but the interior hardly justifies a special trip ,I can see no reason to return.

Another huge, handsome pub - inside and out - with a good beer garden.
This was the only place after freedom day that I found were still insisting on app ordering only. It was efficient and the Harveys Sussex Best was in fine condition.

Nice food led pub with 4 handpumps.Large rambling beer garden to the rear.Friendly barstaff.Very good pint of Brockley -golden.May be a heritage pub but a very dull exterior to my mind.
