The entrance to this apparently very small pub is off Mepham Street, hidden down behind the bus stops outside Waterloo. However, going through the small front room leads you into a much larger space behind. There's a beer garden out the back too. Sport is shown on big screens, the back bar has a pinball machine (Mediaeval Madness, as of May 2008), and the feel is very much that of a locals' pub - despite its proximity to a major transport hub.

[[Kake]], [[Bec]], [[Bob]], and others visited on a Friday afternoon in May 2008 as part of the [[Category Waterloo And City Line Pub Crawl 2008|Waterloo & City Line pub crawl]]. Beers available were TEA, Doom Bar, Greene King IPA, Broadside, Abbott, and Young's Ordinary.
Food is served noon-9pm Monday to Saturday, and noon-4pm Sunday. [[Ewan]] wouldn't particularly recommend it, from the evidence of what he saw being eaten on a visit in early 2008. Looked to be fairly standard pub choices, nothing special.

Comment added by Kake:
Two bars and a beer garden out the back. The back bar has a pinball machine ("Mediaeval Madness"). Beers on are TEA, Doom Bar, Greene King IPA, Broadside, Abbott, and Young's Ordinary. Agree that it feels very much like a locals' pub, at least this time of day.

Real ale pub very close to Waterloo Station, hidden under the arches of a railway bridge.
