They've gutted the insides and there are comfy sofas everywhere. Coffee and tea are only 50p so I can see myself relaxing with a Saturday newspaper and getting my caffiene fix cheaply. The beer isn't hugely varied or cheap (£3.00 for lager) but it's not stupidly expensive, and there are some real ales. |

Food looks interesting. On our visit in March 2008, [[Bec]] had the mug of soup with unlimited bread and duly ordered further bread, which came soon enough (though we had a fair wait for our food to come initially). The hummus and pitta bread had tasty fresh hummus and warmed slightly crispy bread, while the vegetarian burger was a little dry, but the chips were thinly-cut and well-cooked, very nice and came with a chunky tomato salsa as well as salad. |

Other fun stuff: bar billiards, up and coming bands (as well as the occasional gig by established acts once in a while, though these sell out very quickly) and DJs in the Catapult behind the pub, and events like Bingo Bring & Share. There's an [http://www.amjamjazz.blogspot.com/ open mic jazz jam] on Tuesdays. |

On the second Sunday of each month, they have a pub quiz which starts at 4:30pm, run by the Buttoned-Down Disco people. It has five rounds and a picture round, entry is £1.00, and the prize is the collected money (so not particularly huge). However, it's good fun for a Sunday afternoon and comes recommended, though the ale ran out sometime in the early-evening. House wine was perfectly drinkable, though. |

summary='Excellent refurbished pub in New Cross.' |
summary='Pub in New Cross.' |
This pub has gone through many changes. When Bec first lived in New Cross it was a proper old man pub, complete with cranky Irish dudes watching the racing and scowling at ladies who dared to order pints. Then it went a bit student-y, but fairly standard, and now it's been taken over by the Lock Tavern people and is still student-y, but mostly relaxed, friendly and an awesome local.

The only thing I can complain about (because I can always complain about something) is that the bar staff are far too young. Seriously, they look about twelve. Disturbing.
