Good Beer Guide pub in [[Locale South Wimbledon|South Wimbledon]], serving a range of real ales. Gale's HSB is often on. On our January 2008 visit the beers available were HSB, Swordfish, Westerham's Black Eagle SPA, and Westerham's Puddledock Porter.

It closed in 2021 but reopened in September 2023. We haven't visited since the reopening, so some or all of the details below might be out of date.
The pub is quite small but you can usually find a table. It's normally busy with locals. It's a very friendly place; even when we took a largish group there in January 2008 there was no grumpiness about us colonising half the pub, and several people said goodbye to us when we left. We'd have stayed longer if we hadn't been worried about taking up so much space (it really is tiny).

In mid-2014 it was taken over by a team from the [[Hope, SM5 2PR|Hope]] in Carshalton. The pub is quite small, but following the takeover the space has been improved by the removal of several annoying bits of partitioning to make it seem a lot larger than it used to be.
Lunch served on weekdays, and there is a quiz on Thursday nights. A jazz band plays there between 2:30pm and 5:30pm on Sunday afternoons (free entry). The "What's On" on their website seems to be kept regularly updated.

[[bob]], Phil, and [[Martin]] visited on a Wednesday evening in July 2014. All of the tables were in use by the time we left at 8:30pm, but getting one earlier hadn't been a problem.
They can also arrange 20 litre polypins of beer to take away, given sufficient notice.
== Line 8 ==
There were five real ales (around £3.50/pint), one cider, and one key keg on as well as several more interesting lagers.

[[bob]]'s verdict: The takeover has improved the pub, which was getting a bit tired and the choice of beer had been dwindling.
