A Young's pub in Battersea. As of late 2008, it's advertised as being under new management.

This is a spacious pub, with plenty of tables in several different spaces around a central bar. There is also an extensive beer garden area on two sides of the pub, with a large canopy and patio heaters in the front area, by the (fairly quiet) high street. Inside is an open fire and couches nearby, which gives it a cosy feel in winter.

Kake and Ewan visited on a Thursday evening in December 2008. The four handpulls on the bar offered Young's ordinary (£2.80/pint), Special, and Courage Director's Bitter. They also had Erdinger, Staropramen, and Peroni on draught, among others. Service was very friendly.

ilmari visited several times in 2007, and found the food to be good, with £5 lunch specials, a varied (and varying) menu, a tapas menu, and a Sunday roast. As of February 2008, the Young's website advertised food as being served noon-3pm and 6pm-10pm Monday to Thursday, noon-10pm Friday and Saturday, and 11:30am-8pm Sunday. However, any or all of this may have changed under the new management photo of menu as of Dec 2008.

Free wireless internet; you get the WEP key from the bar.
