Very cozy and friendly community boozer. Small but nice selection of beers, nice homemade toasties and usual selection crisps, peanuts and other snacks. Drinking water for dogs as well as little treats. Staff eat a lot of chocolate ... that's not a criticism!!
This old fashioned pub is a fantastic place, you always get a warm welcome and beer that is kept in perfect condition. It has a great atmosphere with open fires in both rooms, the back room being a little snug area. Great at Christmas when the salvation are come and squeeze into the pub for a sing along.
Old fashioned real ale pub. Good atmosphere. Recently changed management & decor. Still has good beer and warm welcome. Worth a visit for sure. Selection of beers from the Big Lamp brewery on tap.
A very pleasant old school unpretentious pub. Very good reasonably priced beers & very close to Felling Metro (Cross over railway bridge then 400 yards to the right). The manager is usually in the pub talking to customers supported by good bar staff. There are two other pubs a short walking distance so well worth a visit to the area.
We normally visit and sit outside, great unique little bar and amazing stagg
