The pub was taken over by the craft brewery before the pandemic and opened in April 2019. Since then it has proved a popular watering hole with a bustling bar and an array of events from open-mic nights to other live music performances.

The brewery has eight other pubs across the south east including in Epsom, Surbiton and Hammersmith.
