Drinks & Nightlife

Our favourite local pub. In a converted post office with retained fittings and quirky postal-themed decoration. Great ales and lagers from England and overseas, and good pub food. Friendly atmosphere.

Cosy pub with a decent range of drinks and probably the best pub food in Forest Hill. Food is slightly pricier than the average pub but worth the cost if you want a nice meal locally.
