Good meeting place in Oxford circus, varied mix of customers all surprisingly friendly for a west end pub. Service was a bit slow, but the Taylors Landlord was in excellent condition. Monday night is comedy night in the cellar bar and great value for only a fiver. Good range of ciders on draught too.

Nearly always busy in here and at least they do decent cider for a London pub (Westons and Addlestones on draught), but previous reviewer is right - service is far too slow. Haven't tried the food - not sure if I will!

Gone totally downhill due to the utterly inept management who choose to completely under-staff the bar. The obviously incapable duty manager also seemed to have a fear of actually serving anyone, thus leaving a single solitary member serving the entire establishment. Also witnessed food being left on the counter for easily 5 minutes. A friends food (chicken) was raw in the middle. My veggie burger was slushy and slightly burnt.
Avoid at all costs, at least until they fire the manager.

great bitter range, spitfire and black sheep were well kept and well pulled, reasonably priced as well, even my local in the north charges more for a pint of spitfire! not tried the food but heard its good from plenty who live and work in this location. definitely worth a slight detour if you're doing the oxford street shopping bit

Super friendly and always polite bar staff (two of which are absolute cracking sorts) serve good choice of beers and wines to mixed 20s/early thirty something's spread across a very cosy and tidy top floor. Terrific 70's rock and country nights in their basement with a drinking licence until 2am. Basement bar does get a tad crowded on club nights so hop-scotch upstairs prior to closing for refills. Excellent 'back street' (facing Cavendish Square) place to relax when weighed down after Sat/Sun/Xmas shopping excursions.

Ace burgers, fine selection of real ale (voluntarily served in an exciting glass tankard). Wise to order grub around 12.45, or you'll have a long wait.
|
Food is a little slow in coming but worth the wait. Bit dark inside and uninspiring from the outside.
Good place to pop in for lunch during the working week.
Strange to see Jenson Button here on Tuesday in the corner with pie, pint and femme. Perhaps might help him win at Imola next week :)

Good pub for drinks and food. Interesting range of beers. Appeared to be slightly understaffed on recent visit but all staff very friendly.
