Luckily we found some stool seating by the front and were able to enjoy some beers and take in the ambiance. There's an upstairs that is accessible by a very very narrow staircase which even has handles for support, all part of the fun lol!! Beer: We tried out the Guinness (great pouring process!), peroni, and a local ale which the bartender allowed me to sample. He was very helpful and walked me through the different ciders they had in stock and even how you could add fruit syrups to sweeten the flavor. What makes this place even more memorable was the helpfulness of the young guy bartending. He helped us plan how to get to Gatwick airport extremely early the next morning and we owe him a big one!

They serve a lovely carvery with a choice of three meats, usually pork, beef, turkey, gammon and occasionally lamb. There is a choice of vegetables which you help yourself to and you can have as much as you want, the roast potatoes are very tasty and well cooked. The waiting staff are very friendly and quick to serve I have never booked, I have just turned up even on a Sunday and got a table but I get there at midday and while I am there it does get busy. There is also a menu to order from if you dont fancy the carvery.

First time at this pub, a stone's throw from Buckingham Palace, and the pint was excellent and the fish and chips were exceptional. Perfect crispy - not at all greasy - batter on the outside, and fresh, buttery, flaky cod within. The chips were great as well. Our server Silvana made us feel welcome the moment we walked in, and was always nearby if we needed something, but not at all intrusive. The vibe of the almost 250 year old establishment is great too, with a beautiful, large wooden bar and leaded glass windows. Will definitely be returning!

We ordered onion rings to start, the breading on them was amazing! It was light and crispy as opposed to being heavy and greasy like a lot of onion rings. I also loved the curry ketchup that came with them. I'm not generally a curry fan, but it definitely worked with this dish. My husband got fish and chips. The fish was perfectly fried and the tarter sauce was obviously house made because it tasted very fresh and lemony. The chips were fine, but unremarkable in my opinion. For my meal, I ordered pumpkin walnut gnocchi. It was delicious! Just enough pumpkin without being overpowering. There was quite a bit of kale (I think it was kale, the menu didn't say) that came with the dish. It was very good, but probably could have been dialed back a little. The service was friendly and prompt. Definitely a great way to start our London vacation!

However when you walk in you are transported back to the 1970s, the decor is very reminiscent of that era. It has lots of artexing inside and little wooden cubby holes with seat in that are quite cosy. The staff are always friendly, it does quite often seem to be male dominated and it is often busy and lively in here and they regularly have entertainment at weekends which is great! There is plenty of seating outside both to the front and to the back of the pub. The view out the front is not so great though as it is of the main road. The food is average but at the moment they are doing a special offer of main courses for £2! Drink prices are slightly below average. A nice pub where you always feel welcome.

It is very popular with the local residents and the menu is reasonably varied. I visited yesterday with a fairly large group and the £2.00 meal menu is still going strong, and because there were so many of us we even got a waitress service for the drinks, even though we had not booked. For cost and friendliness you can't knock this place. The gents toilet is a little tight for wheelchair access but I guess the layout of the place makes it difficult to improve.

You could spend a month looking at all of the photos, stickers, and items on the wall. We sat outside since the weather was nice.

It was really good, but impossible to eat like a hamburger. Service was great!
