No cask. Keg offering of Moretti, Murphy's stout, Fosters, Guinness, John Smiths, original SB, K1664, Heineken.
L shaped venue with the bar counter following the inside shape of the venue. Carpeted apart from the walk from the entrance to the bar counter and the skirt around the two sides of the bar counter. Tall stool seating at the bar counter. Otherwise, seating around the outside perimeter of the venue with some light grey leather banquettes providing most of the seating capacity around regular tables and regular chairs the other side thereof. There are a couple of pool tables, both in use on my mid evening visit, one to the left of the entrance and the other in the far right-hand corner. A dart board also tucked away around the side of the bar counter. The TV's were switched off during my visit and there was a slightly loud hip hop soundtrack being played. Quite a few fruit machines dotted around.

Large L shaped room and bar, grey and white interior with a patterned grey carpet and plenty of windows give it a light airy feeling. Variety of different seats, pool table and a couple of gaming machines. Beers were the normal fair of lagers, cider etc but no real ales.

This pub harks back to the late 19th century to be rebuilt for whatever reason in the 1960s, 50m south of the original site, on the edge of Queens Market, as equally Brutalist and ugly as the pub. It was on CAMRA’s list of pubs with historic interiors, but the link is now dead and removed from the What?ub page, so perhaps it has been delisted, which wouldn’t surprise me.
Once I’d been frisked by a bouncer, I entered an utterly stark interior with white walls with some grey paint for punctuation, illuminated by modern lighting. Furniture comprised some ash grey peripheral banquettes with a pool table and games machines in evidence, supported by an incredibly worn carpet; it was a bit like a prison common room but with the addition of booze and deafening [c]rap music. Customers seemed to be exclusively Afro-Caribbean, Asian or from the Levant, me regarded with some suspicion.
No real ale here of course, a half of Kronenbourg arriving at £2.40, served by an old-school landlady, the only remaining item of heritage.
This is a poor place; I’d rather live out my life in a ‘spoons than come here again, a staggering contrast to the Boleyn Tavern at the bottom of the road.
