| The way pubs used to be. With two plasma screens gaypostman - 11 Mar 2011 22:08 |
| Visited last night to watch the 2nd half of the Spurs game. Pub is a complete timewarp, and a very well-preserved one at that. Wood panelling, carpets and comfortable perimiter seating. Interesting windows and woodwork and traditional lighting. Two plasma screens. There were only around 7 people in the pub - midweek at 9pm. The lady serving me was very pleasant and the few punters coming in and out were relaxed, mainly middle aged folk. Handpump not in use, but saw Theakstons badge turned round. No problems with the Guinness, though! It is worth visiting for its interior merit alone, and its future seems precarious in today's world. I am rating it not as a real-ale pub but as a friendly local the way pubs used to be. lad_newton - 10 Mar 2011 22:39 |
| Should be closed on hygiene issues,also full of old hooligan wannabes. anonymous - 3 Sep 2007 14:48 |
| I thought that I’d watch a little cricket on Friday afternoon, so I went into the Whittington Cat. I only stayed for one as the cricket was on a small TV with the sound muted. This is not unlike many pubs, as you don’t really need to listen to the commentary. The difference with the Whittington Cat is that on the bigger plasma screen was The Paul O’Grady show with the sound turned up. I know it’s an old man’s pub, but blimey, I thought I was sitting in my Grannies living room! Strongers - 22 May 2007 11:19 |
| A proper drinking man's pub. Ideal when the racing is on as there is a bookies across the road. Strong Arsenal support. physician - 22 Feb 2007 13:21 |
