Real ale discount scheme

Situated at the bottom of a hill adjacent to a once-bustling shipyard, this welcoming two-roomed pub oozes character. The exterior of the pub now has an off white colour scheme and there is a large outside drinking area and stage . The old two room layout remains unchanged but the old dark stained paneling in the bar has been changed as have some of the maritime memorabilia.

Ask about The Deptford Bank Card.

It has several open fires, polished wooden floors and beamed ceilings, and is decorated with wonderful old photographs and nautical artefacts depicting the industrial heritage of the area. The pub gets its name from the tough saltgrass that used to dominate the area before the shipyards.

There are up to 4 changing real ales and two ciders.

Closing times at weekends are flexible, depends how busy they get

About 15 mins walk to either Millfield of University Metro Station
