On [[secretlondon]]'s visit in September 2008, the pub was laid out internally for football, with sofas set out cinema-style; there was an England match on later but they were showing a different game. The pub felt dirty and rough and there were very few women there. When [[DrHyde]] visited in July 2009 there was no football on. The pub was busy but not packed, service was quick, the beer was good, and it felt friendly and welcoming. [[Ewan]]'s August 2010 visit was during the day so the pub was very quiet indeed, but pleasant nonetheless.

It has seven hand pumps with Old Rosie scrumpy and several Weston's ciders, London Pride, Gravesend Shrimpers Bitter and, on visits in July 2009 and August 2010, a couple of Brodie's ales. Cider is clearly a focus of this pub, and four of the handpulls are seemingly dedicated to it, with a number of draught ciders as well.
 It had four or five hand pumps with Old Rosie Scrumpy and another cider, London Pride, Gravesend Shrimpers Bitter and maybe another. I had a pint of Gravesend Shrimpers Bitter (£3/pint) which was poor and flat.
