A variety of newspaper titles supplied on Saturdays and Sundays. 8 handpumps and on Charlton Athletic FC home match days several uncooled casks may be on gravity dispense on the bar counter to enhance speed of service. A function room and another smaller room with a bar (no real ale) and several other seating areas were added upstairs in 2017. May close early any day if business is deemed to be too light.
