Atmosphere

• "Best pub in Town. Fab beer selection for great price and the atmosphere and staff and the best."

Cons:

• "Nothing special about the bar inside but a really nice little outside area for the summer."
• "However, last time I went the women's toilets were flooding and staff didn't notice 😅 friend had to tell them."
• "Very disappointing!"
• "Recent Saturday nights are for juveniles. The usual mix of people seem to have disappeared."

Food & Drink

• "Fine live music and DJs at the weekend, a tremendous selection of draft ales."
• "Amazing pizza. Perfect, Neapolitan style pizza."
• "I totally recommend the food. We've had fish and chips, mac and cheese and a pizza and it's honestly hard to choose the best one as all of them were delicious."
• "Their Fish and chips and Halloumi fried in better are divine."

Cons:

• "Would be nice if Management puts in place a rule for large dogs especially on busy nights."

• "The limited menu of pub vittles, at a slightly higher price point than usual."
• "Sadly however beer is insanely expensive, £7.40 for Brixton reliance which costs £5 round the corner in Deptford."

• "We finally got our food at 5.45 and it was all cold."
• "Everything was cold and not well cooked at all."

• "Room also Nice, do not let shared bathroom put you off if thinking of staying."
• "Lovely old pub with a diverse music selection and comfy beds and a great shower."
• "Cosy place with good, friendly atmosphere... The rooms upstairs are clean and tidy, well presented."

Cons:

• "However, rooms were Not en suite, stairs are quite steep, especially 3 steps leading to shared toilets, and breakfast was reduced to a large crumpet."
• "Very basic room with just space for a double bed and a chest of drawers, shared toilet and shower room down a corridor."
• "Overrated hotel. Very old building, difficult access upstairs to the room."
• "Sharing a bathroom with five other rooms, no kettle in your room, tv signal was very poor."
• "We had room 5. A double bed and what could only be described as two cot beds."

• "Unfortunately it was the really hot bank holiday weekend and the room was in direct sun so was like an oven."
