Update July 2010: The pub's quality had taken a nosedive, but thankfully it is now back on form, with a recent change of owners and menu; hopefully they will make a success of it, competing with the [[Victoria Inn]] down the road; it's less annoyingly gentrified and has more of a laid-back proper pub feel. |
Decor is stripped wooden floors, with lots of leather chairs along the wall, tables of various sizes, and some large sofas at the back. They also clearly welcome dogs in the pub, as a number of guests had them on a visit in February 2008. |

They have Deuchars IPA and Adnams Broadside on tap (Deuchars was off on a September 2008 visit, though), as well as an extensive wine list, with about 10 wines served by the glass, at prices between £4 and £7 for a large glass, as well as plenty of bottled wine (going up to about £30 maximum). |

They have 4 real ales on tap; on [[Jakob]]'s last visit (July 2010), they had Sambrook Wandle and Sambrook Junction, T.E.A., and one other on. There is an extensive wine list and a decent if not outstanding collection of spirits. |
The pub also serves food, with a daily menu. On the Sunday in February 2008 when [[Ewan]] visited, there were the usual roasts (including a vegetarian option), as well as a number of other dishes (two vegetarian options) and side dishes (hummus, bread and olives for £3, chips with aioli at £2.75, etc.). My toad in the hole with mushroom and tarragon (vegetarian) sausages was extremely good -- the roast potatoes were done to a perfect crisp, the sausages excellent, with a little jug of gravy and some lovely vegetables. Jo's butternut squash ravioli were adjudged to be very tasty, even if there weren't as many as she'd hoped! |

The pub also serves food, with a daily menu; prices range from about £7.50 for sausage and mash to about £15 for steak and chips. On his visit, [[Jakob]] had an excellent burger, which was properly medium-rare and came with chips and very good home-made coleslaw (£8). They also do Sunday roasts, which look good. |
A return visit in September 2008 for breakfast yielded two very tasty vegetarian breakfasts (£6), with one sausage (though the menu advertised two), and beans served in their own bowl <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/55935853@N00/2875954468/ photo]</small>. The price was particularly good value as it included a fine filter coffee (tea was also an option). Our fresh-squeezed orange juices were also very good (and cost around £2 each). |

A once disappointing local in Peckham, which has in the past year (2007) been refurbished and now presents itself as something of a gastropub. This isn't to say you can't get a drink there, but it'll be a far better one than you could before.
