| Fairly typical Nicholson's offering, and the Timothy Taylor Landlord was not available (which was probably just as well as it would probably have tasted just as insipid as the very uninspiring pint of Harveys I had instead - how does this company, which promotes itself as something of a real ale specialist, manage to do this to two of Britain's finest ales?). Claims to date back to 1668, but I doubt that much of 'ye old' wood-look dates any further back than the last corporate refurbishment. Plus point - seems to offer a remarkably extensive range of sausages if bangers are your thing... rpadam - 21 Feb 2008 21:19 |
| Started here on last Thursday night with the intention of visiting the four Cask Marque pubs North of the river on the recommended Cask Marque pub crawl. Also concur that this is not a bad pub. The London Pride and Black Sheep were OK and we did not experience the short measures mentioned below. Service was brisk, even though it was quite busy with City workers when we first entered. only down side was that they run out of Pride fairly early so we moved on to the Willaimsons.

| I'm afraid this pub left quite a poor impression yesterday evening. The Timothy Taylors was only marginally drinkable and there were plenty of uncollected dirty glasses on the tables, which was poor given that the pub wasn't particularly busy I too witnessed the staff serving short measures. Based on yesterdays visit, I'd be inclined to go to Williamsons instead - its only a 100 or so yards away, if that JohnBonser - 15 Jan 2008 13:21 |
