THIS PLACE HAS SHUT. It is all boarded up, chances are it will be replaced by flats or the like. Was always half empty, poor inattentive service, dodgy area.

Mate and I were in for a few on Wednesday lunchtime...The only customers....The barmaid and her friends (and a baby) were watching daytime TV on the wrong side of the bar, so as we were an inconvenience the service was brusque....The beer choice was limited and not cheap...Barmaid went back to her friends...We went to The Oval!
This could be a nice pub, it's a nice building with all the makings but if prospective new regulars wanting to spend money are made to feel this unwanted it has no chance "in the current climate". I hope we had an off day because we need to keep our pubs open.

i think this is a really good pub not too sure on the new owners i think they are a bit young. he thinks he is a bit of a jack the lad type but she is ok. its a regulars pub but outsiders very welcome as long as they dont bring trouble in as the regulars will stick toger and there may be trouble..the beer is lager is great and at a fair price. i shall continue to drink here.

Locales feel pub... big enough, has a bit of atmosphere
But badly kept booze, which when I asked for a swap, I received another pint of... badly kept booze
Wouldn't be too much in a rush to return for this reason
|
A mixed bag - friendly enough down-to-earth atmosphere on the plus side.
On the down-side both beers were undrinkable. If you walk in a pub and see most people drinking lager don't touch the beer.
I would return for a Guinness or a lager but would not touch any of the ales on tap.

Great band on friday night, a blues type rock band. Two blokes. Pub getting better.
|
This really is a poor pub. I felt like I was walking into the set of Eastenders - a real edgy Cockney atmosphere, Dads sitting around 'with their boys' scratching their tatoos.
No real ale to speak of.
Overpriced lager.
Bad karaoke.
Avoid.

What a shit hole
|
Popped in on a Thursday lunchtime for a workmate's final day. Dead quiet, almost tumbleweed blowing across the bar - essentially an old fashioned Victorian boozer, great unfulfilled potential. No cask ales, Guinness was palatable.
Ignore all anonymous comments, they're worthless.

This pub is noisy, lacks any cask ale, and therefore has no appeal to me.
|
What a shit-hole!
I slipped on a banana skin and oh di that turn me on!
A great place for pikeys!

I see that there is a mixed bag of comments here about this drinking establishment. "Quiet cheap and friendly staff" "Recent Refurb" "Dogs running around" are just a few of the comments that spring up. This pub isn't exactly top notch and the floor is very sticky before and after the cleaners have been in. I wouldn't rush back there although I must say each time I went there it got a little bit better though. Apart from the Dog in there barking loudly.

This place is an absolute fecking disgrace!!!
|
This place is awful!!!It is like the Croydon equivalent of the Deep South or Chatham. Full of people who would be at home on The Jerry Springer Show who you would never see in any other pub nearby. If you're lucky you might get some entertainment with a fight between the locals, also music with council estate karioke. Great place for all the family with small children and dogs running around late at night. One to avoid like the plague!!!

Good honest local. no frills but has decent beer although nothing particularly unusual in terms of choice. friendly staff and locals. Recent refurb improved the feel of the place a bit. Pool table and a several screen to watch the footie on.

This pub has just been done up. Was a dive before. Definatley a local pub for local people! Quiet cheap and friendly staff though!
