An unremarkable pub which does the (slightly more) remarkable task of pleasing all the people it serves. The clientele consisted of old locals, young N4 flatsharers, couples popping in for a pre-meal drink and even a couple of lager lads, but this pub took them all in it's stride. With patterned carpets, cheap and cheerful food, a nicotine coloured ceiling and forgettable wallpaper, this was what most pubs were like in the 90s, before the gastro revolution. The couches at the back are the only nod at modernity. With the inclusion of a pool table and billiard table, plus a beer garden, there's nothing wrong here at all, but its location means its probably only of interest to locals.
