Licensed in 1765 and rebuilt in 1899. Close to the redevelopment on the old Middlesex Hospital site, this is a ground floor bar/pub with three real ale pumps, and craft beer including some foreign beers. Previously a bit of a cider haven with boxes and handpumps, sadly now only two keg ciders are on offer. The large food menu includes standard pub grub, Chicken Society chicken options, Ruby Jeans burgers, and Punk Pizzas!
In June 2022 it was reported that payments are required to be by card, cash not being accepted.
One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: Not listed
UPDATE 2020.
A refurbishment has recently been carried out which requires a re-assessment.
Please note - the photos are therefore out of date and the description is one written before the recent changes.
The pub is effectively one room which retains many original fittings, including a decorative screen situated towards the rear which separated a small sung from the main bar before the double doors were removed. There is a colourful Victorian tiled floor at the front left of the room indicating a partitioned passage to what would have originally been a small bar. On the Bourlet Close side is a door that leads through a short passage to the rear part of the bar i.e. the pub looks to have had four small rooms originally. There is a wooden floor throughout.
There is a centrally placed, almost square servery with Victorian panelled bar counter – note the two different treatments with wooden decoration on the front three sides and round arched panels on the rear part. Very little remains of the bar back fitting and the pot shelf is modern.
