AS was - Their beer came solely from the Goodness Brewery. Nice and relaxed place compared to the others around here and very much a ladies that lunch (in the evening) style of place.

Closed as the Joker and reopened as Day & Night but that did not last. From the This is Local London website, "The Hicce Hart will open on November 18 at the west end of Chapel Market in the building whose last incarnation was as Day & Night." The features may need updating - currently their website lacks info.

A little way up Penton Street and on the corner of Chapel Market (a street and a market), it had reopened in June 2009 retaining on the outside its original impressive Courage brown tiling and sign. It then changed ownership in 2013 and its name with a lot more building work done.

The following text represents a previous incarnation as The Joker-

A feature is a huge clock used as part of Oasis's shows, old B&W framed photos, large distressed tables, sofas, bar stools and exposed brickwork. Cask ales were initially given more prominence, featuring beers from Laine's Brighton Brewery plus guests but in Jan 2017 it was reported that all the handpumps had been removed replaced by a "wall of keg".
