The pub has the nickname "the Sloaney Pony", on account of its proximity to [[Locale Sloane Square|Sloane Square]] and its reputation for being patronised heavily by Hooray Henries. It certainly can get busy at popular times, particularly on sunny weekends thanks to its extensive outdoor area with BBQ food and outdoor tables. This area is kept fenced off just away from the pub on a corner overlooking Parsons Green itself. The only time [[Kake]] has tried to visit, in the middle of summer, it was utterly overflowing with people, so she went to a little locals' pub around the corner instead. By around 3pm on [[Ewan]]'s Saturday visit during a beer festival, the crush at the bar was several people deep.

Inside, seating wraps around both sides of the very large bar, with plenty of tables along the front, as well as couches and smaller tables to the rear. There's a separate dining room at the back with full table service, though food orders anywhere in the pub (or outside) are taken by the staff, though it's easy to get their attention.
 Focuses strongly on having a wide range of good beers. There is a constantly-changing selection of real ales and interesting imported beers.

The pub focuses strongly on having a wide range of good beers. There is a constantly-changing selection of real ales and interesting imported beers, on eighteen handpulls (five on either side and ten at the front). On [[Ewan]]'s visit, almost every handpull and draught tap had an imported American beer for their American Beer Festival (a regular occurrence around American Independence Day), though they had a few other discreet ones hidden down below bar level dispensing the regular lagers.
 Food is excellent, but quite pricey. Food is served noon-10:30pm Monday to Friday, and 11am-10:30pm Saturday and Sunday.

Food is excellent, but quite pricy, and every item on the menu is matched to a beer. Mains are around £10-15, though there's a £32 steak on offer. Food is served noon-10:30pm Monday to Friday, and 11am-10:30pm Saturday and Sunday. [[Ewan]]'s mushroom salad with a poached egg was lovely, and a side order of crispy new potatoes was a rather posh gastro twist on the usual chips -- small new potatoes sliced in half, fried with caperberries and olives dotted in amongst them, and a very decent snack for a favourable price (£3 for a good sized bowl).
 An outdoor area with BBQ food and outdoor tables is available in the summer and is a great place to while away a sunny afternoon.
