Historical version 1 of Whelan's, SE16 2PP (view current version)

Small locals' pub near Surrey Quays Station.

The decor is quite basic, with bare floorboards and wooden chairs and tables. The room is narrow, with a small open area at the front leading back to a narrow area alongside the bar and then a pool table at the back. There's a dart board towards the front too, and a couple of small leather armchairs near the door.

Kake and others visited on a Wednesday evening in June 2009. When Kake arrived a little after 6pm there were at least a dozen other people in, all of whom seemed to know each other. There was plenty of lively conversation going on, and service was friendly. Various TVs were showing cricket with the sound on.

Although there are two handpumps on the bar, both had the pump clips (Bombardier) turned around. They did have Courage Best, but it was from a tap rather than a handpump. A pint of Strongbow was £2.70, and one of Guinness was £2.90.

Accessibility: A step up to get in. Step-free to the ladies' once you're in.
