Early evening, a diverted visit due to the King William IV still closed for refurbishment. As per my last visit mainly food oriented however the many tables outside the pub were busy with drinkers.

Early evening. My first visit here and I like it. Another proper back street local however I feel the emphasis is more catered for wine drinkers and diners.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ringwood - Razorback | 3.80 | | Superb and in top condition. |
| Sambrook's - Wandle | 3.80 | Not Tried | |

Mid-afternoon on Sunday and the place is jammed full of families eating roast dinners, with many young children present. Not the place for a quiet pint at this time.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| East London (ELB) - Pale Ale | 4.00 | | A nicely full-bodied, traditional Pale Ale. |
| East London (ELB) - Foundation Bitter | 4.20 | Not Tried |

Today it is a modernised, single bar pub with pavements tables at the front and a garden area to one side.
