Speaking to a new manager in Feb 2025, he said his policy is the rotate the beers and have a more varied selection. The chosen beers will be kept on for several weeks until they run out and new options will appear. March 2025 - Apparently doesn’t keep change, so may only accept cash if you have the exact amount.
In 2023 a 50th Anniversary Award was made to the pub as it had been serving cask ale and been an entry in CAMRA's first Good Beer Guide and is still selling cask today. The beer then was Charrington's IPA. So one beer then and two now - but in the interim another 3 handpmups were often in use.
With a Grade II listing and inclusion in CAMRA's London Regional Inventory of historic pub interiors, you won't be surprised by this pub's fine interior. Although it is clear some parts are missing, the central servery and much more has survived as another marvelous celebration of pub architecture, including some impressive etched and cut glass and the Lincrusta ceiling.
Quiz night Weds, upstairs lounge bar with a pool table and an outside drinking area. Huge, clear glass windows lighten the place up but, sadly, are not the originals. Modern menu but by no means a gastro pub.
