The pub is found in New Cross, Greater London, SE14 5LW.

Refurbished back street corner pub in Dennett's Road popular with Telegraph Hill's residents, in an otherwise poorly pubbed area. Semi-circular bar counter in the front room has 4 handpumps. The rear room has a mixture of high-backed settles and standard tables and chairs for dining and several booth niches. Large covered area out the front is open until 10pm. Renamed with new operators in May 2023.

We have visited this pub once, seen 4 different beers and tried 2 of them.
