What absolute rubbish Windass is talking. This is a lovely pub with great staff that are only too willing to help. You spent nearly £20 Mr Windass wow!! This is the city of London my friend time to wake up and smell the coffee!!
Beer is more reasonably priced at £3 to £3.50 and the food is always excellent. One of my favourite city retreats and always busy.
Back to your half pint and peanuts Mr Windass you old fuddy!!

Worst pub in London. Over priced beer, around £4 a pint and full of City idiots. Bar staff are morons. I asked for some free olives after spending around £20 (£100 between our group) and they refused.

Know this pub very well, and in answer to the previous posters - the girl in question is the lovely Lucy. In fact the bar staff is the major plus point of this pub who do a great job when it gets invariably busy - especially at lunchtimes and towards the weekend. My only criticism is the food which is mediocre at best and ridiculously overpriced.

Great boozer-busy lunchtimes and 5pm until 8ish most nights. Good draught lagers and the girls seem to like the wines! agree with previous comment - the blonde bird is very easy on the eye and friendly. Must be my charm..

visited this bar yesterday and had a great lunch, the landlord who looks a bit like a freddie mercury/homer simpson cross, was quite hospitable, but my attention was focused on the buxom blonde lovely with the plunging neckline, possibly homers daughter, i think her name was "lucky". All, in all a great experience.

The best thing about this pub is the staff, they are so friendly and really make it what it is. I enjoyed it as Finches and enjoy it now.

Knowing this pub under its previous guise, I was prepared to be pleasantly surprised and wasn't. The prices were awfully high for musky beer and the food was so overpriced I was looking around for cameras. 'The money' is in food, I admit, but Young's need to first make sure that as a pub this place is a success. Atmosphere: nil, value for money: nil. However the staff were all help and smiles, hopefully not because of the 10% surplus, but to earn it.

Nice, Youngs have struck gold here, they've removed the "Wine Bar" decor they put in a few years ago and put the wood pannelling back. Its about average on price for round here, but a much better pint, with friendly service han many places on the main road. It is still afflicted with being way too busy towards the end of the week though.

A jolly place - fills up nicely and always good fun. Food is distinctly average but the Young's beers are well kept (Winter Warmer at the moment is particularly good, I haven't tasted it better anywhere else). A good bet if you need somewhere to go in the area and want a good pint and somewhere comfortable to sit.
