An oasis in an area that has become something of a pub graveyard as the loss of local waterside industry killed off passing trade. A pub of this name has occupied this back street near the Thames for several hundred years, surviving now on its reputation for real ale, excellent food and events such as its celebrated annual Pickle Festival. Five or more cask beers with a varied selection of interesting guest ales always available. One or more box ciders are usually also available. Parents with young children should beware of the steps where the floor is split level. Folk music on Wednesday evenings and quiz night on Sunday. Long-standing owners Charlie & Eileen retired in December 2016 and the pub is now run by their tenant. In autumn 2022 the pub extended into the former ground floor flat next door. 15 handpumps in three banks, each of 5. There is also an extensive range of Belgian bottled beers available.

Local CAMRA branch Pub of the Year 2020 & 2021. Local CAMRA branch Lewisham District Pub of the Year 2023 and 2024.
