Popped in the other day. No changes inside from below except that the local lunatic fringe are now out of the place. Two ales, Courage Best and a fair Rebellion IPA. Smart (and unusual) move of the licensee to use old carpet samples to line the bench seating. Still have a soft spot for the old girl.

Popped back in for a beer the other day as I hear the AG may not have long left if developers get their way. I've always had a soft spot for the pub itself and it'd be a shame to see it go. Beer was Youngs, average quality – was expecting a better range. Unfortunately five minutes after we'd sat down a fight broke out (it was only 6pm!). Not a great advert really. There is a local nutcase element in Engy Green who get barred from one pub and travel over to the next - they currently seem to be residing here. I think the previous licensees must have left because law and order was not an issue here before. This place could really be something with the right landlord. But I won’t be back here anytime soon. Rated 4

Back again, first time for over a year and-a-half. Pretty much the same, boasted two ales (Hogsback's Hair of the Hog and Fuller's London Pride) in average condition. It feels a bit seventies (in a good way) upon entering with a horseshoe-shaped bar centrally situated, lots of copper-shaded ambience at the front bar giving way to a more normal style at the back, where the pool table is to be found (directly in the way of the toilets, so I bet a bit of aggro has started a few times as a result of one too many people filing past). They don't need a pool table here, it should be junked. Populated by locals and students, so a nice mix and a decent atmosphere. Recommended for a pint or two before the Happy Man which is literally 75 yards away down the next street. Rated 7

A quality 'real local' pub, great atmosphere. Decent beer. Need a machete to cut through the fog of ciggie smoke though. Rated 7

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Armstrong Gun

Nobody else there at 1:30 on a weekday lunchtime, so no wonder that the barperson looked fed up. Fortunately the weather was good so that the OK pint of Spitfire could be enjoyed in the garden rather than in the doom-laden atmosphere inside.

Very good Timothy Taylors Landlord on Sat pm. Can understand why some people may perceive the place to be a little intimidating at first, but it's just a good old local and I didn't detect any hostility at all. Definately on the list next time.
