Previously an All Bar One, this reopened in April 2016 as a casual restaurant/bar concept operated by the independent bar group Darwin & Wallace, who have three sister sites in other London "villages". There is a central bar with counter seating and an open kitchen. It's very much at the eating end of the gastropub spectrum, but you can still just sit at the bar and drink if you want to. There is one real ale, and various keg fonts for other draught beers. Fresh-cooked food includes breakfast seven days a week from 9 to 11.30. The courtyard has now been restored and refurbished to make an outdoor drinking and dining space.
