Website

After a long period of closure, this site finally reopened in early June 2022, renamed the Brompton Cross. The pub currently offers two to three cask ales from three handpumps. There is a short "classic pub" menu including a signature Steak Frites dish and Sunday roast lunch. Expect to pay local-area prices for food and drink. TVs may be on showing sport, often muted.

As at date of this entry the venue does not appear to have a working website. And it has been reported that the pub may sometimes close early depending on trade. Further updates welcome.

Historic Interest

A wedge-shaped building contains a narrow single bar, rebuilt in 1936 with a tiled exterior. First licensed in 1852 as a beer house, it later became part of Goring & Jenkins Lion Brewery Estate.
