One of the non-Young's pubs in Wandsworth, this is just up the hill from Wandsworth Town Station near bus routes along East Hill (between Clapham Junction and Putney).
It is a pleasant, open space with plenty of large solid wooden tables of varying heights, some leather couches, and a dining area towards the rear of the pub. A good selection of newspapers are provided for reading. The clientele tend to be young professionals, and can get a bit noisy in the evenings, but not unpleasantly so.
On tap in March 2008 were Doom Bar (of which I had a few very nicely-kept pints), TEA, Adnams and one other, as well as Bitburger lager and Aspall Suffolk Cyder. In May 2008, it was only Adnams Bitter and Hop Back Spring Ale.
The food menu is fairly unadventurous but covers all the bases (mains are £9 to £15 for the steak), though the sweet potato chips (£3) from the bar snacks menu were hand-cut and very tasty. They also have a range of tasty Salty Dog crisps behind the bar (though pricy at £1.20). Food is served noon-3pm Monday to Friday, 6:30-10pm Monday to Wednesday, 6:30-10:30pm Thursday and Friday, noon-10:30pm Saturday, and noon-4pm and 6:30-9pm Sunday.
