Situated in a none too prepossessing location, this dates from 1839, but was rebuilt in the 1930s and was until recently, something of a rather portentous affair, according to JAQPTIO; I can well believe it. It has though, gone markedly downhill since Moby ventured out here.
Painted tedious smoky blue outside and inn, the interior is slightly industrialised and basic, with metal trunking over the bar. It was very full, with highly lubricated young people, one young man and women doing highly vocal impressions of gorillas, all crowding and jostling at the bar. The left half had a fair assortment of squawking women, most of them going gaga over some women’s small dog, which forced itself on me on leaving, me not going gaga.
The pub wasn’t that full, though felt it and despite this, service was very slow. On entering I had noticed just the three pulls now, dispensing Doom, Ghost Ship, the standout being Hackney Pale Ale, all with tags reading ‘coming soon’ – or so I thought, on ordering a half of yet more Neck Oil (£3.10) from the right bar, I retreated to the relative calm at left, to prop up the bar, only to notice that the tags actually gave tasting notes.
This is really quite a poor place, not worth the effort.

Things seem to be looking up here from the previous reviewers experiences,there are 8 handpumps and beers on were Sambrooks Pumphouse pale, Twickenham Naked Ladies,Southwark IPA and Centennial,however the latter being a little tired. Its was quite vibrant and lively,the pub looks like its heading in the right direction.

An old-fashioned backstreet boozer, and not the sort of place for a stranger to take photos or start asking questions. Small front bar with a pool table, and a much larger 'L'-shaped room at the back. Compact patio beer garden (just a smoking area really) to rear. Smarter landscaped patio with wooden tables at front, albeit with noisy Southeastern trains passing by on the viaduct every few seconds. No real ale, and not even any John Smiths, but I cheered up a bit when I spotted some unexpected bottles of Old Peculier (£3.60) in the fridge.
