Pretty decent effort of a pub all in all. Cute barstaff that have obviously bucked their ideas up since previous reviewers visited, as there was no long wait for a drink and they were perfectly friendly to strangers like myself.
Choice of beer about average, but quality pretty good and prices par for the course.
Nicely decorated with comfy furniture and not too rammed or noisy, so a nice place to drop into for a couple of pints and a chat with your friends.
The pictures behind the bar of various drinkers who range from the local "characters" to C-list celebs are a bit off-putting but it doesn't seem to be particularly up itself or self-consciously whacky despite this.
If you are in the neighbourhood you can do a lot worse but not really worth making a specific destination for an evening's drinking. Although one of the barmaids is very attractive.

I had to smile when I read the comments about delays in getting served I felt like the invisible man stood at the bar, it was very obvious that the staff were inclined to ignore you and serve familiar faces first regardless of how long you had been at the bar It wont put me off going back as I liked the place but you should not have to feel like being rude in order to get served. And as for Dick Turpin being a regular wasnt he hung in York ? perhaps he popped in once and got fed up waiting to get served and headed north.

this pub has been done up in the last 6 months or so, what they have achieved is quite a pleasant lively bar which is worth ducking in to if you are in the area but I wouldn't go out of your way.

Went in here last night for a quiet drink. Nice looking pub (claiming, somewhat dubiously, to be the oldest in London). Slow bar staff who would rather chat to each other than serve you, but otherwise a pleasant experience, with room to breathe.

Despite the nice front area to the pub the rear looks more like a working mens club. Bar staff are slow and seem to favor talking to and serving their friends. Seems to be populated by generally wanky people anyway so I would give it a miss. Oh, and there where mice running around too, when this was pointed out to the staff shoulders were shrugged! Not good for a place serving food.
