What a great sporting pub for big events, I had the privilege of going during the SA vs New Zealand Rugby game, great venue with tons of outside space. The had an entire Braai / Barbecue station set up for everyone to bring their own food and cook. If you going to gonto a big event make sure to get there at least 2 hours before to make sure u get sitting space. Staff are amazing as they even dress the part really getting into the spirit of things. Booze is relatively cheap, 6 shots Jager £11... what a great vibe and experience, I traveled an hour to get there and we'll worth it.

Great pub for South Africans living in London! You can always catch the rugby here, atmosphere is good, drinks are cheap and they have live entertainment some nights. They also braai some days, I love to bring my South African friends here. Also great it’s right outside the station.

Good friendly service from friendly staff! Thank you for giving a great venue to watch the rugby World Cup match. Looking forward to the next one. The boerewors rolls were great too!

I was was with my family to celebrate my sons birthday on 5th April 2024 for dinner and we were served by Teresa. There is a customer car park and need to register the plate number to a avoid parkin fine. We stayed around 2 hours and enjoyed so much food and the drinks at this place. Fast and professional service, Teresa is so helpful and makes the whole table feel like they're home, Listening and communicating actively, explaining with patience, making sure we are ok and if we need enythig else. All 3 courses were served in good times and food was very good, cooked exactly how we wanted…
