They have six handpulls, offering Fuller's ales including seasonal specials. In May 2013, these were Brewers Brass (£1.95/half), Spring Sprinter, ESB, and London Pride; they also had keg London Porter, Honey Dew, and Aspalls Cyder on tap. On the same visit, [[Kake]]'s first pint of lime and soda was £1.20 and the second was £1.40, for some reason. When [[bob]] visited in November 2007, the Pride was very drinkable. |

In May 2013 [[Kake]] tried the puy lentil, feta, and tomato salad (£9.25) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/8842017904/ photo]</small>. It was fine, though the lentils were a little too <i>al dente</i> for my taste, and it was pretty expensive for what it was. |
It's available for hire outside normal opening hours ([[Kake]] saw a wedding party there one evening while walking past). As of mid-2008, it's the venue for a regular [http://www.vagabonds-event.co.uk/ goth club] night on one Saturday a month. |
