It's quite small inside, low-ceilinged and cluttered with furniture, pillars, and room dividers. A bare-floored area directly in front of the bar has tall tables and chairs, and cosier areas are tucked away to each side, including a comfortably-padded banquette in the curve of a bay window. In general, it feels a lot more individual than the average Ember Inn. |
[[Kake]] visited on a Tuesday afternoon in September 2011. There were a few people in, but plenty of free tables as most people were clustered around the bar or sitting out the front. Music was playing, a bit of an odd mix swinging from Mica Paris to Katy Perry. |

[[Kake]] first visited on a Tuesday afternoon in September 2011. There were a few people in, but plenty of free tables as most people were clustered around the bar or sitting out the front. Music was playing, a bit of an odd mix swinging from Mica Paris to Katy Perry. Three of the four handpumps were on, offering Ringwood Best (a special offer of £1/pint), Nethergate Essex Border (£1.50/half), and London Pride; the other one was clipped for Young's Bitter, but turned round to indicate it was off. |

[[Kake]] visited again on a Thursday afternoon in September 2015. There were about a dozen people in when I arrived around 2:30pm, which was enough to make the place feel about half-full. No music was playing, and there was a pleasant buzz of conversation. |
Strangely, although this pub doesn't appear on the Ember Inns website, there were "Ember Cask Club" booklets on display, listing the real ales on offer across the chain. The food menu also looked fairly chain-like. It's not clear whether this is an Ember Inn or not. |

They'd added four more handpumps since my previous visit, for a total of eight; today, these were offering six real ales and one cider: Glamorgan My Darlin' Lemontime, Marstons New World, Hopback Summer Lightning, Fuller's London Pride, Brakspear Bitter, Deuchars IPA, and Old Rosie. The other handpump had a turned-around clip for Haresfoot Wild Boy. A half of lime and soda was 50p. |
According to the 2012 Good Beer Guide, food is served all day until 9pm, and quiz night is Tuesday (the latter being confirmed by a sign seen in the pub in September 2011, which additionally stated that the quiz starts at 8pm). |

According to the Ember Inns website as of September 2015, food is served all day until 10pm, from a chain-wide menu. |
Accessibility: At least one of the entrances is step-free. From there, the bar and some of the seating is on the same level, and a ramp leads to more seating and the toilets. A third seating area, to the right of the bar, is up a step. |

There's free WiFi via O2, which requires you to give them a mobile number for them to text an activation code. According to a sign seen in September 2015, there are quizzes on Tuesdays and Sundays from 8pm. Accessibility: One of the entrances is step-free. From there, the bar and some of the seating is on the same level, and a ramp leads to more seating and the toilets, including a RADAR-locked accessible one (the accessible toilet and the ladies' are on the level from here, but the gents' has a step). A third seating area, to the right of the bar, is up a step. |
