God, I spent my informative years in there. Was most probably in there nearly every day from the age of 16 until 22 ish Havent been in there for ages now but it holds great memories as it was also the pub my late Dad drank in and I used to sit in the gardens with the obligatory coke and a packet of crisps. Also used to have an off licence between the two bars which I ran many errands to.
Used to about until about 2 years ago, went a bit punchy, pitbulls running around and a few villans bossing the bar, knocked it on the head after that.
I used to drink in there when we first went back to the valley when Phil who now runs the Pilot in Greenwich had the pub,then John took over and when he left it went downhill and i've only been in there a few times in the last 7-8 years,i've heard it's a bit of a pit now.

sold for £2.5M
not a bad fee eh! done well. was the story true about Sky News wanting to take it over for Millenium Eve and he turned down a real sum of silly money as he wanted his regulas to have somewhere to drink.

Haven't been in there for a long time now, and have heard it has gone badly downhill, though don't know myself.

However, the lager is looked after and no queues for the bar either. Which is all I'm after for a few pints before the game.
If they spent some money doing it up, I think loads more people would use it on a match day.
Nothing special good beer a huge selection of teh bottled real ales
Nice landlord and no queues
CAnt beat it
Absolute pits now.
It was new landlord in theer not sure if they still own teh palce like they do many others in the area
