A traditional, wood panelled ex Charrington's pub with an original central island bar and an Irish influence. Local bus stops are named after this wedge shaped landmark pub. Note The House of Toby tiling outside. Serves two regular real ales and sometimes dabbles in a third one, sometimes from a local brewery enterprise. The single handpump on one counter is not operational so you'll be served from one of the three on another side of the island bar. During term time may be very busy with students. There are several tables on the front pavement. No dogs except assistance dogs permitted.
