| A pub very close to [[Southwark Station]], done up in a retro trendy way. It recently changed management (2007); the new landlord is very chatty. The front part of the pub has a couple of long bench/table things while the back has smaller 2-4 person tables which are (at least some of the time) set for dining. |

London Pride was on at £2.60-ish. The landlord was happy to give a taster first. It was certainly drinkable. Strongbow is £3.20/pint as of May 2008 as is a pint of Guinness. |

There is possibly free wireless. They put on a poker night on Mondays (£10 to buy in). Currently also seem to be doing BBQs on a Friday evening. |

I found the food portions massive. I had a veggie sausage baguette (£6.50) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/90117465@N00/2360785513/ photo]</small> which came with salad and a big portion of chunky chips. Vegetarian lasagne (£7.50) came with some lovely looking bread - however, contains mushrooms so not for me. |

A pub very close to Southwark Station, done up in a retro trendy way. It recently changed management (2007); the new landlord is very chatty.

Does food lunchtimes and evenings, possibly with a constantly changing menu. Rib-eye steak was £9.95, burger was £7. They do Sunday roasts from noon to 5pm; on Kake's December 2007 visit there was a choice of chicken, beef, or nut roast. The nut roast was quite tasty.
Currently seem to be doing bbqs on a friday evening.
The front part of the pub has a couple of long bench/table things while the back has smaller 2-4 person tables which are (at least some of the time) set for dining.

Comment added by Bar Hopper: This place has changed beyond all recognition - out with the beige and in with red walls, flowers, candles, great street art (so i'm told) and some seriously good food. I had the chicken, leek & mushroom pie and my significant other went for the pork fillets in a cream & peppercorn sauce. The staff were really friendly at the bar and in the restaurant & the bar crowd seemed to be a really nice mix of after work types and assorted drunk trendies... i'll be back soon.
Comment added by Bec: I visited August 2007 and instantly fell in love with the kind, chatty bar staff. A half pint of lime and soda was 40p and a small glass of very tasty house red was £3.00. Also, the sandwich board had a picture of Prince, His Royal Purpleness, under the Lord Nelson sign. Hooray!

There are two bike stands right outside the pub, very handy!
Comment added by Ewan: Visited August 2007 (and again in September 2007). The duty manager was chatty; the food was excellent (I had vegetarian pie); and the ales were Black Sheep Bitter and Pride. House wine was a very quaffable Concha y Toro merlot. Pint of lime & soda was £1. Gets busy on a Friday night, so you'll need to be in early to secure an outdoor table.
