I had a few beers there last night. The speckeled hen and the greenking IPA were very nice. Nice pub, friendly staff, great location. I will visit again.

This evening whilst waiting to be served, I witnessed someboday order a pint of Speckled Hen. The bar maid walked to the pump, picked up the drip tray, emptied it into thr glass (approx 1/2 pint) before topping it up from the pump. I queried this with one of her colleagues who said it was normal practice with bitters but not other beers.
I later spoke to the bar manager who said that he did not condone such practice.
I leave it to you to decide whether you wish to drink at this establishment - I certainly will not!!!!

Nice little summer pub to watch the skirt go by. Nigh on impossible to get served at lunchtimes in the summer, so get yourself round to the Swan.
|
A big place with pleasant staff and the pints ok too.
(the spoons across the road is cheaper though!)
|
Not bad - and because it's in Leadenhall Market offers outdoor drinking even in bad weather. Trouble is there are better pubs in the market - the Lamb and particularly the Swan.
The previous reviewer who nominated the Jamaica as a superior alternative clearly hasn't been there recently

Great pub if you’re into meeting men in suits. Yep this pub has it all - 900 men in varying shades of black and grey, bad ties and shirts stapled into their trousers by a belt sitting on a 90 degree angle due to their expanding waste lines.... the talk is all the same, has been financial boys claiming they made money in the 90's... these blokes are the rejects from the real city trader pubs... think I prefer to listen to my Dad tell me how hard it was in the 80’s when interest rates were 19% then go in here and here diatribes from post-40 balding men who are their second divorce... oh did I mention they server beer here as well ? the place sticks like piss and they serves plates of chips for a fiver that a rodent wouldn't eat... give it a miss... better places town.. hint: try the Jamaican Inn.

Cracking little pub, toilets do stink of p!ss though.
This pub seams to be held together buy 1 ladd, Neal Ladd. He has a great relationship with the customers and staff alike. good beer, good food, worth a go. Dont forget your suit though.

An excellent pub in the heart of london. Staff are really efficient and friendly. The pub has a really good atmosphere and high television screens showing the football are a real plus. The assistant manager in particular is a really nice bloke who seems to have a good raport with all the customers. Its recently undergone a refurbishment to its downstairs bar which i look forward to seeing.

a personal favourite, so I'm biased, however an unpretentious City hostelry, nestling neatly on the corner of Leadenhall Market.
Always popular at lunchtimes where folk spill outside, especially in the summer.
Toilets stink of p!ss and have done forever.

Barmaid (dark hair and pigtail) made me feel like I was doing her a favour by ordering a drink. She finally came over to me, demanded my money as soon as I had ordered and then checked my £10 note so ostenatiously that I wish I hadn't bothered ordering. Really put me off going there again.

Tried this pub a few times & the staff are excellent. Not as frumpy as some other pubs in the area. Nice thing is it has good screens for footie and is open in the evenings, which is a bonus for this area.

It's.. OK.. I was slightly underwhelmed. The beer (London Pride and Greene King IPA) is fine, the staff are fine, the other punters are fine (as long as you don't object to men in suits). It has got one of the classy EA Golf machines (rather than the Golden Tee rubbish), and plasma screens up at either end for the footie/cricket. There are local boozers with masses more personality and/or class (try the Lamb in the market or the Swan off Gracechurch St).. the New Moon rather pales in comparison.

A pleasant City pub. Quality pizzas in the basement. Flowers IPA on handpump. Real beer available on both floors. Handy for Leadenhall Market. Worth a visit when in the area.
