Hammerton was a regular beer but as of Sept 2026 that seems to be no longer the case - the beers listed are regualrs as at Sept 2026. Years ago it was also thus - "hams hanging in the food preparation area are visible from the bar." but this is no longer the case either.

Had a £1m refurbishment October 2025 - see here for details.

26/09/25 - the pub is now operated by Urban Pub & Bars. We do not know if the live music and events will continue. There is no ref to them on the website.

The following description covers how it was ............. it may not still be relevant

Another part of the real ale renaissance taking place in this part of London. Although the emphasis is undeniably on food (hams hanging in the food preparation area are visible from the bar), this gastro pub has had up to three cask beers on at any one time. It is also big enough for those who just want a drink to enjoy one without feeling uncomfortable. The whole impression is one of space, helped by a large bar area and high ceilings.

There is a large restaurant area to the rear of the pub, and an outdoor drinking/smoking space both to the side and the front.
