A busy Saturday evening. A group of us met here before moving on to a private party. We all agreed that the doorstep sandwiches being served looked delicious, and the sign outside advertising Burmese Curries means that I may have to pay another visit.

Bank Holiday Monday, and this place was extremely busy. Several beers ran out during the day, and Exmoor Gold became available just at the time that I had to go and catch my bus.

First few pints from a new cask. Very good indeed.
The pub is found in Addiscombe, Greater London, CR0 7ER.
A large and popular pub situated on a T junction. A log fire adds to the atmosphere in winter months. There are no airs or graces, and an ever changing list of guest ales.
We have visited this pub 15 times, seen 34 different beers and tried 22 of them.
