Goswell Road isn't exactly overrun with pubs so this average boozer is about as good as its gets in these parts. Although not awful in any respect, a nondescript interior and the usual Shepherd Neame selection of drinks means it's ultimately only a destination for the locals and the less fussy afterwork drinker, even if it does do Sunday lunch and under-fives are fed for free.
