I had sunday lunch here once, and we counted 14 different types of vegetable, and the amount of beef was good too. I had a hangover as well, which disappeared after eating this epic lunch - enabling me to create another one.

Visited here last night; only two real ales on (London Pride and Greene King IPA). The Pride was OK but not wonderfully well-kept. I note the comments about the grumpiness of the landlord; if this was the chap who served me then I'd say he's more disengaged than actively unpleasant, an important distinction I think.

Not a proper locals pub, because it has been discovered. People mix alright but I have found the place shut on Saturday evenings - trying to keep the 'twat' numbers down perhaps. Shame cause it is one of the few in that area with excellent beer, legendary sunday roasts, and a tatty but effective beer garden.

This is the only genuine pub left in Shoreditch. Its just far enough off the beaten track to avoid being filled by the rapidly encroaching suits from Liverpool Street and its not full of strippers like all the remaining original pubs in the area.

Its run down and the landlord is (ironically) grumpy, a picture on the wall by the mens toilet has been crooked for 3 years now but thats all part of its charm. Most of the beer is good and everyone in there is friendly (even the skinhead with all the tats). Food is very good although they no longer bring out trays of sandwiches on a Friday night - too busy these days.

Locals and the people that work nearbye mix well, but if you refer to them as Shoreditch twats you should go elsewhere. On the downside it is very smokey and a bit on the small side, infact dont go there - I want to keep it to myself.

Sadly over-run with typical Shoreditch twats the last time I went in. I daresay another few months and it'll be all beaten up leather sofas and ironic fashion types all over the place.
