First opened as a public house in 1871, owned by the Thomas Salt and Co Brewery. Now a cosy gastropub with secluded courtyard garden; the pub has attracted very good independent reviews for its food, e.g. serial entries in the Good Food Guide. Locals would be forgiven for keeping very quiet about this hidden gem, although the emphasis here is not on cask ale; the excellent menus change daily. Two local ales were reported at our last update; further news welcome.
In summer 2024 the pub was taken over by Wren Pubs as operator, also operating the Surprise in Chelsea and Walmer Castle in Notting Hill.
Historic Interest
The up-market St. Peter's Square housed the original Island Records offices and it is hoped by the pub that some of their roster of musicians such as Bob Marley, Cat Stevens and U2 may have frequented the bar!
