The pub retains its two room layout, built in Victorian times, with some remains of the original drinking lobby and a former office behind the bar. The many engraved mirrors, bare wood floors and furniture complement the dark wood bar counter, and original fireplaces are retained. The imaginative food menu is displayed on chalk boards, with the left side room serving as a restaurant. The opening hours given are for the bar.

A large retractable TV screen is available for sports events. At the rear, a staircase leads up to a functions room equipped with its own bar, available for hire. In 2013, following the closure of the nearby Pakenham, the number of handpumps doubled to four and the range improved. Post-covid we seem to be down to 2 cask beers, although a picture on their website shows all 4 in use, they have had Redemption, usually they always have something local.

A recent visitor (May 2022) reports as follows - "Happy hour at this pub Monday afternoon. Not sure of exact times, but paid only £3 odd for a pint of Redemption at around 5pm" July 2024 - Confirm Happy Hour Monday to Friday 3pm to 6pm with reductions on a range of drinks including beers. Two cask ales on offer, Sambrook's Wandle and Rebellion Overthrow
