On a visit in Feb 2002, two cask beers - the ubiquitous GK IPA and a house beer which we believe to be Sambrook's Junction, the pumpclip makes it clear that the beer is brewed by them. The ciders from Lilleys are no longer considered by CAMRA to be "real ciders".

Re-opened after work on the upper floor in the summer of 2015. Large mid-Victorian pub on corner close to the stations, in the style of the North London railway. Comfortable leather covered bench seating in several drinking areas opposite long bar. Television screens in most areas for sporting events. Student discount card scheme available (students would need to ask for details). The upstairs room was a jazz club and also featured early performances by the Stones and Hendrix.
