A popular, traditional boozer with bar packed with well kept cask beer from Fuller’s . Go for a pint of HSB and then an ESB!

I had a (giant portion ) of steak pie and chips . Really delicious pie : lovely pastry , tender beef , delicious sauce. Chips were fluffy and crispy . Beer not too bad either. Nice pub grub .

Felipe Paschoal

Amazing sunday roast . Had a beef this time and my friend had lamb . Both were good and well served.

Try the roast beef , watercress and horseradish sandwich on the white baguette . Absolutely splendid and they don't skimp on the beef .

Pablo Martinez

I like this pub but is quite expensive , one peroni pint is 5£. The food is good because they have some dishes for vegetarians and they are tasty

Rachel

Love this pub but often packed so you can end up walking through one door and out through the other. Good food.

Excellent food, great for a lunch time visit. I'd get there early though as it gets pretty busy. I recommend choosing from the specials listed above the bar .

This place has far higher ratings than it deserves. Ultimately, it's an old mans pub with shit on the walls. Avoid at all costs.
