Pub in New Cross.
An RGL posse visited on a Sunday evening in November 2007 as part of the East London Line pub crawl. There were a reasonable number of people in but we had no trouble getting a table. The only real ale on offer was Courage Best, but they did offer Thai food to go with it. Main courses were about £6, I seem to remember. Kake's seafood curry photo was entirely lacking in heat, but had a decent flavour apart from that, and the prawns, squid, and mussels in it were good. Mixed starter platter wasn't bad; everything deepfried, but not overly greasy like can often happen.
Decor is "interesting", with fancy tiling on one side of the room and stripped-off wallpaper on the other. Pretty little lanterns on the tables. There's some outdoor seating out the front on the street under a small canopy.
Food is served until 10pm on Sundays; not sure about other days.
