The Hobgoblin was a pub opposite [[New Cross Gate Station]]. It has now closed. As of January 2015 the premises have been [http://transpont.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/hobgoblin-to-re-open-at-rose-inn.html acquired by new management] and reopened under the name of [http://www.rosepubandkitchen.com/ The Rose Pub & Kitchen], a reference to the pub's earlier name of The Rose Inn. The information below is retained for those who want to know what it was like as the Hobgoblin. <div class="old_info"> A pub opposite [[New Cross Gate Station]], known as The Rose Inn in a former life (a sign on the side still records this name). This Wychwood Brewery-branded pub is very firmly a student favourite and its proximity to Goldsmith's College ensures their presence. There are 20% discounts for students as well as plentiful drinks offers. On a Thursday evening visit in November 2010, almost all clientele were students, and the place was busy, noisy and boisterous (with one particularly loud group engaged in vodka shots; when they left, the place seemed comparatively endearing). Conversely, on a Saturday afternoon in September 2013, it was quiet, with just a handful of customers in and music playing very quietly. The main room is arranged around a bar in the centre, with seating by the window, as well as long tables stretching back towards a large beer garden out the back. Decor is very bare. There are four handpulls for ale. On [[Ewan]]'s November 2010 visit, these were dispensing Wychwood Hobgoblin, Sharp's Doom Bar, and Timothy Taylor's Landlord. The Doom Bar was not particularly well-kept, though certainly not undrinkable, and service was perfunctory. On [[Kake]]'s September 2013 visit, the handpulls had St Austell Tribute (£1.75/half), Sharp's Doom Bar, and Thatchers Heritage cider. The Tribute was fine. Thai food is served, from a kitchen based upstairs on the premises. We haven't tried it, but the menu looked to be good value. Accessibility: A step to get in. Once you're in, it's step-free to the bar, seating, and accessible toilet (not sure about the beer garden). The other toilets are up a flight of stairs.
