Website.

The pub is found in Crayford, Greater London, DA1 4HH.

Interesting central bar which can be accessed from 3 sides. Dark wooden paneling suggests an ex Courage house. Nice feature is the two displayed non-operational handpumps at the main entrance which would, at one time, have been the off licence hatch. 9 operational handpumps located at various points on the bar complex.

We have visited this pub 3 times, seen 9 different beers and tried 6 of them.
