Styled as an ale & food house, this street-corner gastro-pub is highly regarded for its changing menu but retains a traditional drinking area at the front, attracting a cross-section of locals, with the dining area to the rear of the servery.

The pub has bare wooden floorboards and is simply furnished throughout. The efficiently run bar displays blackboards listing available real ales, wines and snacks.

The wood-panelled walls are adorned with mirrors and pumpclips.

Attractive mullioned windows overlook a front terrace with a canopy, olive trees and the busy South Lambeth Road.

The policy of selling a guest beer from a London micro-brewery has sadly been discontinued.

Historic Interest

Local listing;- Prominent corner pub in the Italianate style. Elevations are stucco with Italianate window surrounds with 1/1 sash windows. Pub front appears to be inter-war. Leaded lights with margin panes and simple style pilasters. Interior retains slender cast iron columns. Inter-war fit out.

Information for this venue is provided by the South West London Branch of CAMRA
