| This once-great pub has now closed, possibly forever. It just goes to show what a copy of 'An Idiots Guide To Refurbishing A Pub' can accomplish. This was, without a doubt, one of the best twenty pubs in London during it's pre-wine bar makeover 'Country Pub' days. Packed every night from teatime onwards. A great shame. RIP, Country Pub. Good riddance, Clarendon. mark1736 - 10 Aug 2011 13:37 |
| Went back after years away. Apparently, the super make-over from the old, loved, 'Country Pub' cost 100k and took 2k a week off the takings. Go figure....... mark1736 - 31 Dec 2010 17:11 |
| JimmyJames is spot on - this is a great pub and certainly one of the best in the area. There's a mix of seating with tables and chairs in the front part of the pub and couches mainly at the back, making it a comfortable and welcoming environment, even if you're on your own. There's an eclectic crowd usually, including local office workers, Pimlico/Belgravia/Chelsea residents and tourists from the nearby hotels. The beers include decent pints of IPA, Deuchars & Youngs, as well as the usual Kronenborg/Guinness fare, plus a decent selection of wines with options for small or large glasses. Prices for food and drink are what you'd expect for a more up-market area, but the food usually justifies it, with an excellent salmon fillet and succulent lamb burger among the regular menu items, plus changing specials. Considering it's a bit off the beaten track (although only a short stroll from Victoria) it can get busy early evening, particularly on Monday, when they have a quiz night. There's no loud music or fruit machines and the staff are invariably pleasant and helpful. The way a pub should be. roxyj - 12 Aug 2010 15:46 |
| A spell binding experience! The previous entry just doesn't do this establishment justice! I quaffed my premium lager with a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye... Green_0nions - 27 Apr 2010 13:14 |
| Possibly the best pub in London! Set back five minutes stroll from Victoria station in the relative calm of Pimlico is this fine, sumptuous, warm and welcoming pub. A veritable gem of a watering hole. This Pimlico pub is all things to all drinkers – firstly there’s the clean, open, bright space inside that gives a crafty mixture of boozer, eatery and meeting place. Secondly (and the reason why we all go into pubs) is the choice of drinks and food: a great selection of fine wines and spirits, Fosters, Kronenberg 1664, low fermented, fine Italian Birra Moretti Deuchars IPA, and three other clips with two new guest ales. Then there’s the food: apart from complimentary bar snacks of sausages and chips regularly on offer, the hungry or peckish frequenter can scoff some great pub fayre that fits in well with the times. Thirdly (and probably the clincher) is the friendliness, professionalism and sheer delight of the bar staff, headed by arguably the best, bubbliest, brightest landlady this side of old father Thames. Busy at times, quiet at others – this is a bit of a hidden secret delight to all who encounter it. The mix of punters truly represents all of London life. But once you discover it, don’t tell everyone. Let it be our secret!! JimmyJames - 7 Sep 2009 13:49 |
