| Under new owners from mid-2014 and completely refurbed. Very welcoming and now attracts a more mixed crowd of locals and nearby workers so has a decent buzz early evening. Serves one or two ales on pump plus additional fancier craft ales in bottles (including local brewers like The Kernel). Food is based on a menu of Pieminster pies with mushy peas and mash/chips. will883 - 24 Sep 2014 12:35 |
| From the outside looks quite nice as it's an older building amongst 1970's buildings. Inside quite nice too. The real ale I had was not that clever and although not intimidating, I thought better of complaining. The Gregorian up the road looks better but never went in there catmadnick - 26 Sep 2013 12:58 |
| Somebody's removed my review - why? All I can remember about the pub now is that the customers were effing and blinding all the time, even in front of the female staff. twm_sion_cati - 21 May 2009 15:15 |
| If anything, gets better on each visit. Ale choice is still either Pedigree or bottled Whitbread Light Ale which, given that most of the punters stick to lager, is understandable - better one well-kept beer than three that go off because you can't sell them. The pub itself is a fairly imposing street-corner local and looks nothing special from the outside, if you miss the Evening Standard pub award plaques, but is immaculate inside - dominated by a dark, wooden horseshoe bar and with all seats, toilets and pool table intact. As for the regulars, I've yet to see trouble, though good-natured banter can come thick and fast. Vies with the Ship in Rotherhithe for best pub in SE16. pablos13 - 8 Feb 2009 08:06 |
| Classic old-school Bermondsey boozer - clean, welcoming and regulars who'll banter but don't bite. More recommendations? well, the Pedigree was superb, there's often a stall outside doing cheap eels, whelks and crabs and it's not far from Manze's pie and mash shop. Highly commended. pablos13 - 21 Dec 2007 13:59 |
