No music just the regulars chatting to each other. If you can remember when that was case in every boozer you'll love this pub. Great Guinness & friendly bar staff . No fancy details. Its just a regular London boozer that doesn't need a ridiculous make over or the soulless sterile experience of a Weatherspoons to pull drinkers in and make sure they come back.

This is everything you want from a local pub. Great choice of beer, great staff and great atmosphere. Log fire in the winter. Beer garden in the summer and live music. What more do you need. Why are you still reading this.....GO NOW!!

Really not sure why the Blythe is listed as a restaurant, not sure they even do food beyond the crisps and scratchings - but that's part of what makes it so great. It's a real throwback, makes me feel like I'm in the sort of pub my dad would have enjoyed when I was a boy. The focus is very firmly on beer and cider, they have an interesting rotating selection of both (try the Bee Sting, if you dare) plus excellent Guinness - best I've encountered outside Ireland. It feels like a proper community hub, has three bars with different but good atmospheres and a pleasant large garden with ample seating and a kids play area. Sports shown but not intrusive, Irish music and such on at times but there's always a quiet corner to enjoy your pint if that's what you're there for. My local and I feel very lucky to have it.
