About the Pub
Rebuilt in 1898 in the Arts & Crafts "Old English" style, this Grade II listed pub has probably one of the most imposing exteriors of any pub in the area, including an enormous pub sign projecting over the pavement. Large arched windows with etched glass complement the wooden frontage on the ground floor, divided into a central arch with end arches either side complete with mosaic floor tiling. Inside the pub has been completely refurbished as more open plan around a U-shaped bar with wooden flooring and cream walls adorned with tin-plated beer signs and beer pump clips. The lighting is subdued with fairy lights over the ornate woodwork. Seating consists of a wide variety of benches, chairs and high stools around wooden tables.
At the back, there is a well tended patio garden with plenty of assorted seating, popular in warmer weather.
No meals are provided but customers are allowed to consume food brought in from local takeaways. The owners also operate The Stormbird and the Hermits Cave in Camberwell.
