Greene King pub with a long narrow interior I didn’t visit the upper floors.

Great looking exterior but the Greene King signage caused consternation and the full horror was evident once inside.The interior is long and thin with lots of seating to the sides,and a long bar on the left wall.Right at the end there is a one table gallery below which are red leather bench seating and this is the best part of the pub.
Muzak was playing far too loud,the food offering was foodservice rubbish and I felt sorry for one couple who ordered lamb shank ,it looked plastic and the prices are very high for pub grub with Fish & Chips £12 and many dishes higher.
There is a lounge on the first floor with pleasing leaded windows and a shuffle board.
At the bar the choice was GK Abbott,IPA and Yardbird Pale (actually contains hops and bitterness ,a first for GK)
Just too corporate ,the name is an accurate review of this place.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Ye Olde Cock Tavern
Curious-looking building, with an entrance archway spanning the full width of the narrow frontage and a first-floor timbered bow window. A sign at the front suggests that it dates from 1549, but apparently the pub was originally on the other side of the road and rebuilt in 1887 in a Tudor style to match the original structure. The traditional-looking interior of the main bar is naturally rather cramped, but there is additional seating on the upper levels (never visited) plus a mezzanine area at the back. Rebranded as a Greene King house since my previous visit nearly six years ago, on this visit I found IPA, Old Speckled Hen, Old Golden Hen (£4.45), Abbot and (annoyingly) Doom Bar as the guest beer from five of six handpumps, with London Glory being readied to go on the other.
