Website

On a busy high street by a thriving street market, this Wetherspoon establishment has plenty of capacity. Ceiling supports, disguised as book shelves create lots of different seating areas to choose from. Despite being well-lit, the interior can at times appear to be a little dark. The best place to enjoy breakfast is sitting in sunshine by the windows at the front. Tables and chairs may be placed outside on the pavement forecourt in good weather. It is always a popular pub with the nature of the clientele changing during the pub's long day. One of the world's creakiest staircases leads to the upstairs toilets. Quiz night is Wednesday.

Alcohol is served from 9am.

Reports have been received that no new admittances are allowed after midnight on Friday / Saturday and Saturday / Sunday nights.

Information for this venue is provided by the South East London Branch of CAMRA
