L-shaped room with the bar facing you as you walk in. Weak real ales on offer. Stage to the right. The long room to the left opens out onto a beer garden. Nothing special. Opens at 4pm.

Real Ale Ray left this review about The Bread & Roses
The interior consists of a large L shaped interior, with the bar facing you as you enter and a decent size stage area on the right. The seating consisted of brown smooth finished banquette seating along the left hand side. Walls were in white with a large collection of black and white photos of various musicians past and present. Three handpumps on the bar, with two in use, Sambrooks Wandle and London Pride. Service was slow from the two bar staff, even though the pub was quiet on our early Friday eve visit, so you wouldn't have a hope of being served when live music was playing and the place gets busy.

There was just the one real ale when I dropped in here on Wednesday afternoon – London Pride at £1.50 a half (£3 a pint?), plus another pump with a Doom Bar clip reversed. Food doesn’t seem to feature here (I didn't see any menus), although music most certainly does. There’s a large stage on the right, and just about everywhere there’s a photograph of musicians performing, including a montage of hundreds of photographs on the bar counter facing. That’s fair enough, but I could have done without the raucus pop music being played, but that’s just my opinion, as I suppose if you go to a music pub you can’t really expect a quiet drink.
There’s a beer garden at the back, past a little conservatory area where the pool table’s located. Free wi-fi is advertised. Furnishings are cheap looking black plastic covered banquettes, standard but very basic wooden chairs, and round pedestal tables. It’s all very Spartan, which I suppose is what those you visit music pubs want, or have come to expect. As a music venue it no doubt ticks the boxes, but as just a pub I wasn't overly impressed. This is not a pub that I expect to visit again.
