| Called in last nite for a cheeky pint - I missed you Ye Old(e) White Horse. aleme - 20 Oct 2011 12:22 |
| This is a great wee pub oozing with Irish charm. The owner is Irish and the two bar men are also Irish (Well, upon my last visit). The pub is has character and is clean. The drinks range is good. The Guinness is very very nice - for London?? The selection of ales included tribute, landlord, speckled hen and pride with the Timothy Taylor by far the most enjoyed pint. The music is fantastic. Great range of genres to suit all. Ok, on a friday this is a bottle neck to get into - so get in early! Food is very nice and well reasonable. The charming staff are the key to the success - the two Irish guys behind the bar are a class act. Kept us entertained just watching them. Service was exceptional. The bar man took my wet umbrella and coat to hang up and returned with a seat for me and my partner followed by TABLE SERVICE - result! But keep it quiet, this pub is a quiet gem Ssshhhhh. aleme - 2 Apr 2011 00:46 |
| I guess this place has become a victim of it's own success. Once a quietish pub with a decent and occasionally interesting selection of real ales, it now tends to be packed on any night of the week, to the point where you'll struggle to get to the bar on a Friday between 5 and 8 (and woe betide you if you try to come here when it's raining and nobody wants sit on the kerb). Presumably due to its popularity the prices have also gone through the roof (£7.50 for a double vodka, lime and soda, anyone?), while the choice of ales is now mundane (Pride, Tribute and Landlord last time I checked) and they are not always well kept. A final gripe: the staff don't seem so friendly no more neither. On the plus side the food is basic yet affordable and surprisingly tasty, and their recent refurbishment seems to have consisted of replacing the worn out old carpet with a slightly less worn out old carpet, so the character (if you can see it through the sea of drinkers) has been maintained. In summary, handy for a covert boozy lunch, not so pleasant for a few drinks of an evening. If I could convince my work chums to patronise another local pub, I would. Pedantry corner: As evidenced by the photo, it's actually "Ye Old White Horse", not "Ye Olde White Horse". Luongo - 28 Jan 2011 16:54 |
| Best Guiness I've had in London. Great, small pub with a really lively atmosphere - hidden gem... JP_downthelocal - 24 Dec 2010 17:30 |
