If ever there was a pub trying to keep its head above water this is it. With the brake down of communitys in the area which were the only thing keeping local pubs alive, this one did not move with the times, even if it tried to now i fear it would be all too late. The landlord is a welcoming kind of person, but with so few customers i guess anybody walking through the doors is welcome. The decor is tired and worn, it is a museum to the hay day of local pubs, except the locals have all grown up, sold up, and moved on. Im sorry to say it may be time to shut the door on this one, but dont forget to put the cat out first.If ever there was a pub trying to keep its head above water this is it.

At one point in time i used to be a regular in this pub, i would make a nightly pilgrimage here from greenwich, alas no more, it used to be a loverly pub lots of regulars everyone knew everyone, and newcomers were always made to feel welcome, not the best range of beers in the world and god awful lager but the atmosphere more than made up for that. So what went wrong, we seemed to have a lot of different managers come into the place after our long standing Graham left. One or two really tried to make a go of it but in the end it just died a death, awful management,awful atmosphere as the new managers brought in there own friends and followers, driving out the regulars, so R.I.P the GeorgeAt one point in time i used to be a regular in this pub, i would make a nightly pilgrimage here from greenwich, alas no more, it used to be a loverly pub lots of regulars everyone knew everyone, and newcomers were always made to feel welcome, not the best range of beers in the world and god awful lager but the atmosphere more than made up for that.

It would seem i cant submit a review without giving at least one star, believe me that is being generous. If for whatever reason you happen to be in deptford and driving down tanners hill (well it is one way now) for gods sake keep going,I would like to say i have never been in a pub as bad as this but alas i have, never the less i walked in and it was like entering a cowboy saloon where you walk in and the music stops everyone stops talking and they all look around at you, in the film you order a drink and everyone carries on what they were doing, not in here i ordered a drink and thought im going to die any moment, i have never drank a drink so fast, im sure i heard the music start again as i walked out the door.It would seem i cant submit a review without giving at least one star, believe me that is being generous.

This used to be a bit of a thespian hang out as it used to have a theater upstairs, I remember seeing some fantastic christmas pantos in there, good range of ales, close to deptford train station, also a short walk in to greenwich town center, back to the pub, oldy worldy charm, if not a little run down, not helped by its close proximity to deptford high street, a bit of a no go area at night, so you may be better getting off at greenwich station and walking from there.All in all not my first choice but given the area probably the best of a bad bunchThis used to be a bit of a thespian hang out as it used to have a theater upstairs, I remember seeing some fantastic christmas pantos in there, good range of ales, close to deptford train station, also a short walk in to greenwich town center, back to the pub, oldy worldy charm, if not a little run down, not helped by its close proximity to deptford high street, a bit of a no go area at night, so you may be better getting off at greenwich station and walking from there.All in all not my first choice but given the area probably the best of a bad bunch

Atomosphere is a bit dull. Prices are reasonable, however, i'd much rather go somewhere else for a more upbeat and friendly atomosphere. Could be okay if your just looking for a few drinks before heading into central London though.Atomosphere is a bit dull.
