Small backstreet local close to the river, renamed in the 1990s after a lost cat who returned. Acquired and refurbished by Harvey's in 2012 and now parading Harvey’s windows and fascia, it is Harvey's second London pub (15 years after they took over the Royal Oak in Borough, SE1) and a good addition to Wandsworth. Under new management since June 2021. There’s a garden at the back, and a function room upstairs. This pub is a remarkable survivor amidst the mass development of upmarket riverside apartments all around.
All the bric-a-brac from a previous era has gone but it still retains its warm, intimate atmosphere with comfortable sofas to help ensure an enjoyable visit. Four real ales are available from Harvey's. The 4th handpump often features Harveys Dark Mild or Olympia. The pub sometimes offers live music (mostly blues and folk), An upstairs room known as the 'Lions Den' is available for hire. Although the pub has discontinued its food service, certain snacks such as chicken wings are prepared on Wednesday evenings.
