Great bar in the middle. Seating for food to the right. Room to the left with big screen for sport. Beer garden for summer, open fire for winter. The perfect pub!

Delicious and massive candlelit Sunday roast. They were kind enough to create a salmon variation for me - so don't be afraid to ask!

If you're still around after Sunday dinner serving finishes, they put a big plate of leftover Yorkshire puddings at the bar to much on for free ;)
HenrikJanuary 17, 2016
Lively venue with a good selection of beers. The outside area is a great hangout place in summer.

Potentially one of the best roast dinners in London 👌🏻

Nice pub hidden amongst the houses, outdoor seating, really busy at the weekends, plays old skool r&b on a Friday night.

Really nice pub. Amazing food, good beer selection, cosy vibe and also a great place to watch the football

Mushroom pie, breaded camembert cheese, chocolate fondant, all were good.

Very cosy! Has a fireplace and a big screen for the football. Ladies, careful with the bathrooms - very easy to accidentally walk into the men's!

Great pub! Got a nice homely atmosphere that you don't expect to find in London. Good food, although portions a bit small for the price. Bar staff sometimes act like they want to cause you an injury.

There for the Nuno pop up. Food was incredible. Staff were overwhelmed and pretty amateur/unpleasant at times. Hopefully just learning curve

Cosy pub, sit by the fire in winter and settle in.

Banging pub for food and football. Get here early in the summer though as it gets very full in the day time.

Good outdoor area. Gets busy on Fridays. Drinks are pricey.

Ales, live music and the beer garden in a quiet area

Friendly staff, cheap beer, average decor, nice garden. Not special at all

Great beer garden in the summer

Nice location and beer garden.
LondonistJuly 30, 2010
Splendid decor - a row of battered old Penguin classics, a box of dials from who know where? And epic amounts of seating.

One of the best places to watch football in London. Good quiz on Mondays.
James GreenDecember 30, 2011

Good pub, not very good food

Decent local serving quite a young hip crowd. Avoid at all costs on a Friday or Saturday night.

Lovely pub, nice beer garden and pretty good food. However, staff manners leave more than a little to be desired.
