See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.

A friendly local rooted in the community, this Victorian corner pub became Grade II listed in 2022 and has a nationally important historic interior with an interesting three-room layout and 1920s panelling. The landlord and barmen wear traditional collar and tie. There are sports screens in two of the bars. Traditional Irish music is performed on Thursday nights. The beer garden includes a children's play area, and is abloom with flowers in summer. Always carries an awesome range of ciders and perries which goes a long way towards explaining the pub being one of four finalists for CAMRA's National Cider Pub of the Year competition 2018. SPBW London Pub of the Year 2015. SE London CAMRA Branch Pub of the Year 2015 and again in 2018 and Branch Cider Pub of the Year 2015, 2016 and again in 2018. 5 handpumps in total, split between two of the rooms (4 in public and 1 in saloon).
