Inside

A straightforward local with plenty to talk about

The room is small and unfussy, with a friendly atmosphere that encourages conversation over phone scrolling. It is the sort of place where regulars are remembered and a walk from nearby Oxleas Woods can end with a well-kept pint.

The bar

Kentish cask beer and a gluten-free option

The bar leans into real ale, with a selection that is often drawn from Kent and southeast London. Ciders and pilsner sit alongside the cask beers, while gluten-free beer is available on tap.
