Okay. not as good as it was but huge beer garden. Um. Yeah, the rest of it is pretty pretentious and over priced. Saw a prat with the collar turned up on his polo shirt. Wanted to kill him. Nice seats in the beer garden though!

It is an experience, on that I think everyone is agreed. They doo a variety of ales in varying conditions. Watched three police cars and a mob truck pull up at about 1pm one Saturday to take away one man. Brilliant. Up until about two years ago you were lucky if a urinal worked. Oh yes, there is despair, mobility scooters, toothless old man, scrotes, chavs, scumbags, deadbeats, men who will bleat for hous about the 'bitch who ruined their life', ex-cons, tag wearers, the smell of death and stale piss - but I'll tell you what, staggering off the northern line at 11.30pm after eight hours on the beer and thinking you want a closer and finding only �1.85 in your pocket and not sure you can operate a cash machine, this place is your only hope. Having read all this, I'm off to the Tooting spoons. Rock on.

Idiosyncratic, the front room is like sitting in your grandmother's lounge, the front bar is like a big nook, the bit round the side past the toilets is just tables and chairs and comfy stuff and there are great big pool tables out the back. The sausage rolls are to die for and there are tables out the front. Good staff, good Guinness.

The worst pub in Clapham/Battersea. The worst service ever, braying clueless idiot customers, not necessarily crowded on a Friday night but everyone stands in the doorway. I've been dragged here by associates too often. Just, just the worst. Someone bulldoze this place with the up-their-butts black-wearing over-pierced incompetent emo/goth/indie whatever the heck they are staff inside it. Eventually the staff will disappear up their own backside as will this hell hole, if there is a god. I recommend the Duck up the road or Project Orange back towards CJ station or the Falcon over this.

Long time since I was here, went back recently, staff were okay, toilets were flooding, Guinness was good. There were stuff all people around though (5pm-ish, Sunday) so the staff should be on their toes.

Not sure it is open, it doesn't look like it on my travels past it so I would check and the link isn't working.
