About the Pub
Lease taken on by London Village Inns - operating seven thriving diverse pubs, a unique Indian restaurant and two boutique guest houses in London. After undergoing a thorough wash and brush up - incl installing handpumps it has reopened and cask beer and cider has returned after many years absence. Well worth a visit especially to try the food - with many dishes influenced by north Indian cuisine.
Fantastic interior décor - with a rich ceiling, original bar counter, island back bar, screen partition, etched and cut glass and very decorative cornice. A Grade II listed building and listed by CAMRA as having an historic pub interior of national importance. There is a separate dining area - suspect this was the former billiards room. What was a separate side entrance for the hotel has now been incorporated back into the pub creating a small side room. Opposite The Kiln Theatre.
In 2013 the owner/licensee took the unusual step of removing all draught beer in protest at the pricing policies of the large Pubcos for, although owning the freehold, he remained a tenant of Enterprise to whom he was leasing the property! In 2022 he leased the pub to another, established operator.
There is accommodation above the pub but this is currently undergoing a refurb.
