Chef is strange bloke but food aint bad.
One miserable owner hasn't smiled since 1986.
No hot bar staff at all.
pool table though!!!!

No real ale but if you looked hard enough there was Wychwood Circlemaster, Hen and Newcastle in bottles, albeit a little too warm. Pleasant enough and interesting Sunderland memorabilia on the walls. Dartboard was too low.

I played piano here on 05/04/1986, and passed the pub yesterday (05/04/06) which brought memories flooding back! Was a great pub in the mid-80s, there wasn't time to check things yesterday however!

A fine little place that hasn't let the passage of time and the various pub fads of the past few decades wreck its personality. Not a "cool" place, but also doesn't give a rat's arse about such things--it's just a really comfortable place to go for a pint and maybe a game of darts. Well-treated beer (one of the silkiest heads on a Guinness I've found in London) and a really genuinely nice couple as owner/managers. I've also been there for their Sunday roasts and thought they did quite a nice job of it. Definitely worth stopping in!

Pretty grim but also pretty interesting too...

Nice enough, but no real ale. Still, pleasant atmosphere and walkable if stuck waiting at St Pancras

This is the only place we visited twice in our week in London.
Atmosphere was great, service was great food was the best!
