In the main room, the simple wooden bar has around four handpulls for ale (dispensing dependable ales by a mix of local and regional brewers, including Twickenham Ales, East London Brewing and others). [[Ewan]] tried a half of ELB Nightwatchman (£1.60/half) which was a fine, well-kept beer. A pint of lime and soda is 60p.

A food menu is available, cooked in a kitchen whose counter is located at the side of the main room. On a Saturday lunchtime visit in March 2013, [[Kat]] tried the fishfinger sandwich (excellent value at £4), which came on white bread with mayonnaise, plus a pile of properly-fried chips. It went very well with her pint of Everard's Tiger (£3.40). Rick had a good but rather tomatoey shepherds pie (£10) which came in a decently-sized bowl, with sauteed leeks on the side.

An Antic pub in a converted former post office, in Forest Hill.

There's something almost continental feeling about this space, rather like a cafe which happens to offer draught beer. On a Sunday afternoon visit, there are groups of parents with children as well as younger residents of the area drinking in its large, light and airy front room. There is stone tiling on the floor, about four booths to the side of the space, and a high tables with stools stretching out to break up the room in the middle. There are also smaller, almost canteen-style tables dotted around. To the rear of the bar on either side are smaller rooms, the old offices, including two vaults still with very solid steel doors and now fitted out as snugs with small tables and chairs inside for the claustrophobic.
