There's something almost continental feeling about this space, rather like a cafe which happens to offer draught beer. The front room, housing the simple wooden bar, is large, light and airy. There is stone tiling on the floor, about four booths to the side of the space, and a high tables with stools stretching out to break up the room in the middle. There are also smaller, almost canteen-style tables dotted around. |

To the rear of the bar on either side are smaller rooms, the old offices, including two vaults still with very solid steel doors and now fitted out as snugs with small tables and chairs inside for the claustrophobic. |

In the main room, the simple wooden bar has around four handpulls for ale (dispensing dependable ales by a mix of local and regional brewers, including Twickenham Ales, East London Brewing and others). [[Ewan]] tried a half of ELB Nightwatchman (£1.60/half) which was a fine, well-kept beer. A pint of lime and soda is 60p. |

On [[Ewan]]'s Sunday afternoon visit in March 2012, the place was populated with groups of parents with children as well as younger residents of the area. When [[Kake]], [[Kat]], [[Sarah]], and Jo visited on the afternoon of Mothering Sunday a year later, most of the tables were booked and there were plenty of small children in evidence too. |
A food menu is available, cooked in a kitchen whose counter is located at the side of the main room. On a Saturday lunchtime visit in March 2013, [[Kat]] tried the fishfinger sandwich (excellent value at £4), which came on white bread with mayonnaise, plus a pile of properly-fried chips. It went very well with her pint of Everard's Tiger (£3.40). Rick had a good but rather tomatoey shepherds pie (£10) which came in a decently-sized bowl, with sauteed leeks on the side. |

According to a board seen outside in March 2013, quiz night is every Tuesday. |
