This is indeed a very photogenic pub from the outside and the yellow paint job complementing the original yellow and green Truman’s tiling is very pleasing to the eye and invites you inside. Unfortunately the interior does not match the exterior. The bar counter was more 1960’s décor than Ikea for me but the rest of the décor and seating is perfectly pleasant enough. And as the six handpumps were all in operation for my visit I did warm to this one. Alongside Adnams Mosaic and Southwold Bitter were Harveys Sussex Best, Woodforde Nog Dark Ale, Tring Piggeries Amber ale and Ilkley Brewery Blonde. So, a good mix of styles and the couple I tried were in excellent nick.
There is a small courtyard garden outback, but on a fine day it is the preserve of smokers so wasn’t that comfortable a space for a non-smoker like me. But all in all, still a very solid pub.

Some nice Truman branding on the outside, while inside is a pleasant lounge-style room with a new wooden bar being the main feature. At the rear is a patio garden. The bank of handpumps had six beers on offer, although it was a little disappointing that the usual display of sample jars seemed indistinguishable in colour - why not a bit more variation or some local brews? That apart, they did seem to take some pride in their beers, taking one off because it was "not quite right", which is commendable. For the record, the ales were Razor Back, Wherry, Hookey, Ghostship, Youngs Cityscape and Courage Best.

This is a very attractive pub from the outside, with its original Truman's signage seemingly intact, but inside it's a different matter with no heritage features surviving as far as I can see. But that's not to say that the interior is unattractive, as it's still as comfortably furnished as it was when the previous reviewer visited over a couple of years ago. I have to say that I don't think much of the Ikea style bar counter and canopy, but maybe others find modern light pine attractive. It's bare-boarded at the front of the L-shaped room, and carpeted to the left and rear of the room. All the chintzy drawing room decor is still in place, including period lampstands, classic style prints, and loads of chinaware on the walls. Furnishings are of the traditional style, which suited me just fine. I saw the small garden at the rear, but January is not the month to go exploring gardens.

The beer range is at least as good as that encountered by previous reviewers. There are eight handpumps, with six in operation dispensing Timothy Taylor Landlord; Harvey's Sussex Best, Robinson's Overhang; Rudgate Ruby Mild (£3.80 a pint); Black Sheep Resolution; and the now rarely seen in London Skinner's Betty Stogs (£3.60 a pint). This is an excellent selection at very competetive prices.

We found this a serene and relaxing place to enjoy a pint or two. They still play classical music from classic FM or a similar radio station. A visit to this pub is a must if you're in Eltham.
