Inside, the bar takes up a large amount of space in the centre of the main room, around which are arrayed tables at various heights, and some comfortable sofas on either side. Out back is a large function room space with doors open to the street outside and brightly lit (and brightly wallpapered), also laid out with couches for drinking, and in which there's generally plenty of space.

There are four handpulls at either end of the bar. On an August 2009 visit, the pub was hosting a beer festival, so all eight had guest ales (though Sambrook's Wandle may be a regular), and the back room had more casks on gravity. There's a decent selection of other draught lagers including Staropramen and Leffe, as well as a good range of spirits and a few wines.
 There are several handpulls at the bar, with London Pride, Greene King IPA and Sharp's Doom Bar (£3.20/pint) on offer in January 2009, perfectly well-kept. A decent selection of other draught lagers includes Staropramen and possibly Leffe, as well as a good range of spirits and a few wines.

The atmosphere is convivial, with plenty of drinkers enjoying the sun and the ales. They have snacks available to the side of the bar including home-made pasties ([[Ewan]]'s vegetarian one was filled with lentils and feta, and was very tasty indeed, on sale at around £2.25). There's a full pub menu chalked out on boards around the pub, and looked to be good, a bit more interesting than the standard pub grub.
 The atmosphere is convivial, with fairly loud music playing, though not so noticeably loud in the back room. There was no evidence of food on the Friday evening, but they certainly serve Sunday roasts, and may do food on other days.
