There's a menu of food (served all day weekends, with Sunday roast options) which is not extensive but is all uniformly excellent. On [[Ewan]]'s October 2008 visit, the Sunday roast options were beef, lamb, pork or vegetarian (around £8), with no other food offered. Luckily though the roast was very tasty, and the vegetarian one came with a spinach and mushroom sauce filling the yorkshire pudding. Dessert options were treacle tart or chocolate brownie (both served with ice cream), and the latter was particularly fine.

This pub in Nunhead, an historic focus for the community, was renovated after a period of closure by the people who did the nearby Gowlett (according to the sources below), another excellent local pub.

Like that place, there's a surfeit of families at the weekend, and it can also get quite busy in the evenings. Generally, though, there's enough space to find a table in the main room, and it's particularly pleasant for reading the Sunday papers (though a jazz band sometimes plays in the main area on Sunday). A smaller area to the other side of the bar has a TV where sport is shown, but it's easy to get away from this if you're not interested.

The pub likes to draw attention to its organic wines, beers and spirits, and there's a number of guest ales available, alongside the regulars like Adnams and some good lagers (Leffe, Staropramen, etc.).

A function room upstairs can be hired, and there are occasional live music nights or local community events taking place.
