Seems to be just about open as The Long Lane. The place looks similar to before - though the signage out front looks a little cheap. Inside the bar has a depressingly dull range of beers on - standard keg lagers, Guinness, cider plus Pedigree and Courage real ales. Blackboards inside advertise thai food.
Sorry, but this looks like a total waste of space. Smithfield Market now only has two truly decent pubs in the vicinity - the Sutton Arms and the Bishop's Finger.

Still closed. What a shame! Obviously people prefer to ply their uneducated palates with awful lager at places like Fluid and the Charterhouse.

Just noticed it was closed this morning when passing - a shame as its the only pub in the area I had never been in for some reason.
The sign outside says the freeholder is selling up this "public house, wine bar or restaurant". Lets hope its the former and not either of the latter if and when it re-opens.

Uncomfortable surrounding...eek!

Good little place but decor is a bit too cafe like to feel to comfortable. Loved the 'finger' !!!

Good food, friendly service and well kept Shepherd Neame make this a good option for a lunchtime.

Quite good, Master Brew was pleasant. They could do with a few more tables downstair. Went in with a couple of olds who couldn't manage the stairs.

True story. Went to the toilets downstairs, coming back up to the bar I held the door open for the person following me, trouble is, there was no one there. Then saw the sign about the ghost.

Excellent Shepherd Neame pub tucked away near Smithfields market & Barts. Bar staff very good. Usually quieter in the evening so no long queue for the next pint of liquid Kent gold. 8/10.

A proper Pub Really well kept (Sheppard & Neame)Bitters. The food is excellent and great value. A good mix of traditional fayre
with friendly attentive service. The only drawback it is very popular so be early or you may face a slight delay at lunchtime.
