Refurbished several years ago, the Drum & Monkey has lots of exposed beams and brickwork, giving an olde worlde feeling without being tacky. The name may come from the blasting powder carriers working on construction of the nearby railway - the powder monkeys. And the drum? The receptacle the powder was stored in. The beers are mostly from the Greene King stable, plus Timothy Taylor Landlord and one guest ale; they are usually in great condition. Food is superb.
