Please browse the rest of our site if you have the time and we will see you soon.

We are based in an old Victorian public house that opened in 1886 on the site of the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens; immortalised as the ‘Vanity Fair’ in Thackeray’s eponymous novel.

We serve some of the best loose leaf teas available, proper sandwiches and homemade cakes; not to mention the best full English breakfast in London. Our teas have individual subtle flavours which would be overpowered by the instant, coarse, hit of coffee, so we do not sell it.

We make our own marmalade and jams, all for sale by the jar and all our teas can be bought by the ounce online (to view our range click here). Our meat comes from our local butcher and our fruit and vegetables from the local market gardens around us.

We are trying to be different. We will not hurry you. If you visit us on your lunch break, then have one, you will be more productive in the afternoon. If you want to have a meeting, we will not disturb you. If you are ‘working from home’, we have wifi. If you have children, we have highchairs, a chest of toys, and milkshakes. We always have the daily papers, so please, relax, and share in what we are trying to create, take a load off, and have a cuppa.

 

DOUBLE-SIX DOMINOES FOR 2 TO 4 PLAYERS

Many games may be played with a set of dominoes.
This is one variation.

Before play begins, all dominoes are turned facedown and mixed. Each player draws five dominoes and stands them on the edge before him so that his opponents cannot see his domino faces, The remaining dominoes, become the draw pile, play moves to the left. Each domino is divided into two parts, or ends each containing a set of spots. A double domino contains matching ends ( 6 -6. 5 - 5,etc ), and the player who draws the highest double domino places it in the center of the table to begin the game. If no double was drawn, all dominoes are returned to the draw pile, reshuffled, and redrawn.

The second player then turned to match one of his dominoes to one end or side of the double. For example, the first domino played is a double four, the second player may add any one of his dominoes containing four sports on one end. The next player may play to the double four, or he may try to match the end of the s second domino played. .Blanksi match other blanks. Only one domino may be played at each turn; dominoes are placed length-wise rather that at right angles.except in the case of a double, as shown, at any open end of a row. He must draw from the extra dominoes until he is able to do so. Should he draw the last domino and still not be able to play.he passes and then tries again on his next turn. A player must play a domino if he is able to do so. Doubles are always placed crosswise to the end they match, there by giving two new directions in which to place dominoes.

Play continues until one player has used all of his dominoes or until no one can play.if no further plays can be made, and all dominoes have been drawn, the player with no dominoes, or with the least number of points(spots) on his remaining dominoes, wins the round. He subtracts the total of his points from the total of each of his opponents points and scores the balance of points from each. Rounds continue until one player scores 100 points. The game is won by the first person to score 100 or more points.

Players match ends of the dominoes but may play together to end or to either side of a doubles.
