In a Grade II-listed building and for long an old-fashioned boozer (and featuring in CAMRA's Good Beer Guides from 1972 to the late '90s), the emphasis now under Cubitt House management is very much on sitting down and eating, although it is perfectly possible to have a beer at the bar. There is one cask ale handpump, and a menu of pub food downstairs. Upstairs is Alfie's restaurant with a more extensive menu including Sunday roasts.

Cubitt operates a small chain of central London venues of a similar food-oriented nature.
