| Decent real ale pub - had the St Austell Proper Job which was fantastic. Happy hour up til 7pm - £2.50 a pint. Great value in a City pub. Like this pub a lot - only dampener on the evening was the old fella behind us who kept dropping his guts every 5 minutes. CorBlimey - 27 Jan 2012 12:34 |
| Four of us visited this pub having spotted it tucked down an alleyway opposite the entrance to Borough Market. On Friday afternoon arount 2pm it was pretty quiiet with a few people eating what looked like decent pub grub (Fish & Chips, Lasagne, Steak & Kidney Pud etc) from a reasonably-priced menu. The one large bar (with a function room upstairs, apparently) was not overfilled with tables and there were plenty of bar stools, too. Two of us went for the St Austell's Proper Job which lived up to it's name - it was in utterly perfect condition and will live with me as one (actually, I think I had six) of the best pints I've ever had. Also on offer were Doombar, St Austell Tribute and Harvey's Sussex Best. The barmaid/landlady was friendly and took clear pride in her ale offerings. Later in the afternoon, the pub filled up witha mixture of workers ("No soiled work clothes") and businessmen. Behind the bar also filled with staff and the service remained excellent. A basic boozer and all the better for that. Tracerfire - 7 Jan 2012 11:54 |
| I re-visited this pub recently to give it a second try. First time was years back with a mate visiting from Scotland. We arrived after work on the Friday and it was busy with workers and business types alike and the group we joined up with were a mixed bunch. The eye candy was over to the left was in a pink blouse and black skirt and suss's. She would have graced any flake advert and a fine stand in for Lilly Langtree or the crutch warbler off Poldark. The beer was King Richard something from Suffolk way and was tremendous. As the place filled up I ended up back to back with Ms Candy and the innevitable happened as she turned around and dribbled her two headlamps across my shoulder blades. All we needed was the soccer on the screen and Man Utd or Liverpool at least 6 down with NO minutes to go and I would have mistook the place for the doors to Heaven. Candy smiled on way back from the bog and retook her position poking her Catherine Deneuve into the small of my back. Ale was good, it was warm inside and raining outside and if it handn't of been for my Caledonian friend then Esmerelda was goingto get it big time. Mcloj - 13 Jul 2011 13:08 |
| The 2nd visit ive had to this tradional pub which looks like its stoof the test of time without being spoilt too much Had a bit of afternoon company on Sat lunchtime without being too disturbing. Feels like a hidden gem. Couple of ales on. Only stayed for a quick tipple but works well for a couple of hours away from the madness the_original_rawnsleys - 4 Jul 2011 13:04 |
| Proper decent pub serving good beer at a reasonable price. Well worth visiting. Stand outside and stare at the Guys tower. Then go and buy another beer. terenced - 4 Jul 2011 11:41 |
