It had a change of management in early 2017 <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/33385153201/ photo of sign]</small>; see <a href="http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?id=Belvedere_Hotel%2C_DA17_5QH&version=9">earlier version of this page</a> for what it was like before that. |
It's fairly small inside, and some of the space is taken up by a pool table. There's also a dart board. There's a small but decent enough beer garden, with grass and shrubbery, and although there's a fair bit of traffic noise out there, the pub is set back from the main road so it's not too bad. |

Inside, it's a small single room, with pool table and dartboard on one side and seating — a mix of banquettes and low stools — on the other. Paintwork is in shades of browns and creams, a geometrically-patterned carpet is on the floor, and two fruit machines flash silently at each other across the bar. |
[[Kake]] visited on a Wednesday afternoon in April 2011. There were two real ales on: Bombardier (£1/half) and Ruddles Best. The Bombardier was sour, but they immediately exchanged it for a half of Ruddles. There were around half a dozen other people in. |

As of April 2011 they serve food at lunchtimes, at least. |

[[Kake]] visited on a Saturday afternoon in September 2017. No music was playing. There were three or four other customers in when I arrived around 3pm, seemingly regulars. Both staff and customers were friendly and welcoming. |
[[gellyfish]]'s verdict: A friendly locals' pub. It has a pool table and an active darts team so can get rather crowded when both of these activities are taking place. |

There are two handpumps on the bar, but only one was on because there'd been a problem with their last delivery. Sharp's Doom Bar (£1.80/half) was in good condition. |
Accessibility: A step to get in, and a couple more steps to the beer garden. Once you're in, there's level access to the bar, interior seating, pool table, and ladies'. |
| == Line 12 == | |
|
According to a sign seen in September 2017, children are only permitted in the pub until 8:30pm. Accessibility: Two steps to get in, another step between the two sides of the pub, and a couple more steps to the beer garden. |
