Reopened under independent management after a short closure- see website for full details - "New Ownership - new ERA. From the team who brought you North London favourites The Gipsy Queen and The Victoria Stakes." Overall there are 29 taps of beer which rotates weekly.

Previously had been revitalised by energetic young tenants who retired from the pub at the start of 2017. This very popular pub re-opened in Autumn 2012, a traditional refurbishment making the most of the historic building's beautiful Victorian features, combining a traditional pub feel with many contemporary touches.

Food served every day. The ground floor is very spacious; with an impressive, partly-tiled horseshoe bar it has the feel of many different seating areas.

There is an upstairs bar with function room available (no real ale) for up to 100 people, and an elegant covered roof garden. The management and bar staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about their products. Popular quiz Tues nights and comedy nights.
