One of the oldest surviving pubs in Nunhead. The name is derived from one time patrons from a nearby fireworks factory. Entry to this 2 bar house is through a pleasant paved garden area to the front. There is a separate pool room to the rear. Karaoke takes place each night from 9pm. Real ale was re-introduced in 2015.
