Victorian corner pub owned by Sussex brewer Harvey's which, when it took it over was its first pub in London, restored it to how it might have been in the 1850s. There are 4 handpumps in each bar, dispensing a range of Harvey's regular and seasonal beers. There are also several additional Harvey's bottled beers. Two bare-boarded bars are separated by an off sales area. The pub serves a choice of excellent food. An interesting collection of prints and photographs adorns the traditional interior. Quiz night Wednesday. Recorded music may be played over loudspeakers at times. The pub has a pleasant and spacious upstairs room for private parties and functions which can be booked for free. The long-term tenant licensees, Frank and John, retired in January 2019 after twenty years here, after which Harvey's elected to make it a company managed house.

May close early in the evenings when business is light.
