Horrid.
Recently been taken over by the chaps who run the Caxton.
Sign outside says it's closed while the kitchen's refurbished.
Also scaffolding up so outside so may get a revamp.
I used to drink there all the time when it had a Sunday football team, pub quiz etc. then two blokes took it over and brought in fishtanks and got rid of the locals and tried to trendify it and it gradually got worse, then 2 or 3 years back it went completely shithouse.
Certainly cleaner now and hope that James and Michael do well there, no reason for it not to be the great boozer it once was.
Not the closest pub to me but it is pretty near. It's the most amazing pub in the world and it's in Croydon of all places!
People might recognise it as the pub from the peep show....

Why is it the most amazing pub in the world, thats a big claim.

So did I for a short while in 1995 for a holding company after we returned from a 'long holiday' in Cyprus.
