Spacious Victorian corner pub which reopened under new management in 2016, sister pub of the Great North Wood in West Norwood. Much of the original exterior survives but the interior has been modernised and now has a more contemporary feel with a bare-board floor throughout and half exposed brick - half wooden panelled walls. Large windows look out on the world. Has an outdoor area and upstairs function room. Has an open view kitchen and a nice touch is that daily printed menus show the session and date. Simpler bar snacks are available 12-9 daily. Five handpumps serve a changing selection of real ales with a major emphasis on local south London brews.
