In every sense an end-of-terrace back street local pub somewhat hidden on the Blackheath / Lee / Lewisham borders. A family run house split into 3 large double boothed areas with a bar on the side. Internal décor includes the archetypal Courage high dark wood panelling and leaded windows all beautifully preserved. Lots of wall decorations and trinkets on window ledges and shelves. Has a quiet well appointed garden drinking area accessed by grand old wooden double doors from the bar. Until recently had a rather rare enamel outline Courage cockerel on the building's tiled front fascia but this has been covered now with plastic signs. 6 handpumps.
A trial started in August 2022 to give a 5% discount on alcohol products bought using cash.
A locals pub run on very traditional lines with no TV and other distractions – just good conversation and good beer. It looks like an early 20th century building which retains a number of inter-war fittings. Doors indicate it was originally 3 rooms (or two rooms and off sales) but all the divisions have long gone. The bar counter is possibly an inter-war one (or just post-war?) and the bar back with its illuminated top section looks more 1950s. There is three-quarter height fielded panelling all around the room, two good Tudor arch shaped wood surround fireplaces with tiled interiors (age?) with 1960s fake fires. The fixed seating is in bays attached to short partitions with glazing in the top part. Gents retains three original urinals and the blue wall tiles look 1950/60s ones.
The pub has been successful registered as an Asset of Community Value (ACV).
