[[Kake]] has visited a couple of times now. On a Wednesday early evening in June 2009 there were at least a dozen other people in, all of whom seemed to know each other. There was plenty of lively conversation going on, and service was friendly. Various TVs were showing cricket with the sound on. On a Tuesday afternoon visit in March 2010 there were two or three other customers in, watching the cricket and chatting with the landlady. |

In June 2009, Strongbow was £2.70/pint, and Guinness was £2.90/pint. In March 2010, a rather small and warm orange juice was £1.30. As of March 2010, they no longer have the two handpumps that used to be on the bar. They do have Courage Best, but it's from a tap rather than a handpump. |
Although there are two handpumps on the bar, both had the pump clips (Bombardier) turned around. They did have Courage Best, but it was from a tap rather than a handpump. A pint of Strongbow was £2.70, and one of Guinness was £2.90. |

Small locals' pub near Surrey Quays Station.
The decor is quite basic, with bare floorboards and wooden chairs and tables. The room is narrow, with a small open area at the front leading back to a narrow area alongside the bar and then a pool table at the back. There's a dart board towards the front too, and a couple of small leather armchairs near the door.
