In 2013 M&B took this pub back into direct management, they have thoroughly repainted interior and exterior while retaining the same essential layout. A Victorian building occupying an imposing corner site that was originally named The Earl Derby. Themed quiz night Tuesday. On opening night the guest beers were Jarrow Rivet Catcher and Leeds Gathering Storm. The usual array of craft kegs supporting London brewers such as Meantime and Camden Town. However, by Aug 2014 only one beer was on sale and the "forthcoming beer" sign had been removed. Extensive menu served from opening until 10. At the time, we wrote "A welcome addition to the Kilburn cask beer scene, an area that has proved obstinate to the real ale revival." It looks as if that obstinacy remains. Indeed in April 2018, no cask beer at all was on sale.
