Micropub.

One of Bexley's growing list of micropubs, a 2015 original now in new hands from March 2026. Named after an inn in a Terry Pratchett novel, it occupies a former nail bar. Visitors may note the cold room is along the side of the bar now rather than at rear. Generally two draught beers on handpumps and five keg taps. Seating is provided by a settle in each of the bay windows and at a variety of tables and chairs. Unisex toilet replaced on re-opening with separate facilities.

SPBW London Pub of the Year 2018 and Branch Pub of the Year 2018.

A timbered forecourt space now supplements the regular interior seating. Card payments accepted. Last orders are 30 minutes before closing time. Opens noon on bank holiday Mondays, generally until 10pm.

Information for this venue is provided by the Bexley Branch of CAMRA
