| Twineyboy, The barman was probably right - the London Porter was probably in a cask but served from a bar font under CO2 top pressure. Now this, of course, quite rightly would not meet CAMRA's definition of real ale but the beer in the cask when it was delivered almost certainly did. They would sell it under top pressure to extend its shelf life because a low turnover would make it uneconomic to sell otherwise. Despite being a CAMRA member I find it acceptable under this method of dispense. MillHouse - 16 Feb 2010 14:08 |
| Agree with everything everyone else has said. Excellent range of beer - recommend the Batemans XXXB and Kelham Island Pale Rider. Seem to have a new menu too - excellent burger. Only downside was that barman tried to convince me that Keg London Porter was the same as Cask - apart from added fizz, dead in the barrel and slightly chilled of course. twineyboy - 10 Feb 2010 23:29 |
| Seems to have revived a bit in recent months. The staff were helpful and the food surprisingly good. My pint Pale Rider was fine. But it is clearly a place for rail and beer anoraks. simontheeditor - 29 Jan 2010 13:12 |
| Formerly a free house called The Head of Steam, the Doric Arch is now a Fullers pub situated just outside Euston Station on the edge of the station concourse. It's a split level traditionally furnished pub with, not surprisingly, much railway memorabilia, particularly old station signs. One rather depressing feature of visiting this pub which always sticks in the mind is the need to ask behind the bar for the access code to the downstairs toilets - which I presume is a reflection of the large number of scumbags and druggies in the area. I don't think I've ever been in a pub with this requirement before - and I've drunk in pubs all over the country. It's one of the "benefits" of being in a large international city, I suppose. Sporting events are shown on the TV and the pub is popular with football supporters passing through either from or to a game. Perhaps inevitably, the beer range has been reduced since Fullers acquisition a number of years ago. On my recent Saturday afternoon visit, there were only 2 guests - a rather good TT Landlord and Kelham Island Pale Rider which was past its best. The pub is listed in the 2010 CAMRA GBG. It's convenient for the station and, despite the reduced beer range, I'm inclined to call in again sometime JohnBonser - 24 Dec 2009 08:47 |
| 8/10 Pleased that Fullers have kept guest ales at this pub after taking it over - remains an excellent pub. If only I could work out how to operate the code that opens the door to the toilets.... d'oh! Darren_in_the_City - 11 Dec 2009 10:41 |
