The Goat Public House

Carshalton Road Mitcham, Surrey CR4 4HJ

By Carol Smiles

The Goat is a large, spacious pub with an enviable location on the busy Carshalton Road overlooking Mill Green, popular with ramblers and dog walkers.

The Goat at Beddington corner

The Surrey Iron Railway, the world's first public railway, passed the door at Beddington Corner, where Goat Road meets Carshalton Road. Once there were lavender and leather works in the vicinity and the latter gave the Goat its name. The building is reasonably well kept and the main room has a wooden interior with banquettes along the front wall and a separate space used for dining. The walls are decorated with a number of old photos of Mitcham.

This pub is described by one local on "wwwbeerevening.com" as a pub with "a nice atmosphere, friendly staff, nothing spectacular on tap but what is there goes down a treat. Kareoke takes place a couple of times a week. Does get a bit loud at times but it is thankfully in good atmosphere other than 'lets start a fight'"

The Goat was never one of my favourite haunts but it is a good landmark. I can remember walking along the towpath of The Wandle to the last remaining tannery. The smell at times was unbelievable. It looks as though that is all built on now, I hope they managed to get rid of the smells.

My dad had a shellfish stall outside The Goat in the fifties. He also used to push a barrow round the estate on Sunday mornings selling shellfish. The Goat was a great pub in those days - real people, never any trouble.
