Good Beer Guide pub owned by Shepherd Neame, in Greenwich.
Kake visited on a Tuesday evening in September 2008. Beers available were Kent's Best (£2.85/pint), Whitstable Bay, Masterbrew, and Spitfire. I had a pint each of Kent's Best and Masterbrew, and both were well-kept, tasting good and fresh.
When I arrived at 5pm the place was empty except for two chaps having a lively conversation about nutmeg cultivation, among other subjects, but it filled up a bit more later with various people all of whom seemed to know each other. Almost everyone except me seemed to be drinking wine. Music was playing, some kind of pop/rock, not too loud.
I also tried the salmon fillet (£9), which came with roasted vegetables (red, green, and yellow peppers plus mushrooms and new potatoes) and a herb salad photo. It was pretty good; the salmon wasn't overcooked, the vegetables were tasty, and the salad was fresh (albeit undressed).
A sign advertised a pub quiz on Tuesdays from 9pm, but I left before it started.
Food is served noon-2pm and 6pm-9pm Tuesday to Saturday, and noon-6pm Sunday. No food on Mondays. The menu is quite short, and includes a range of pizzas.
Accessibility: Steep ramp up from the pavement, and then a high step to get in. All on one level once you're in.

Comment added by bob: Kent best now 2.95. Still good. Beer garden out front.
