Beer OK. Bloody noisy with the doors open though!

Unexceptional is a great word to describe this pub. Nice Australian staff and a half reasonable pint of London Gold, but not as good as either the Kings Head or the Courtfield. Food looked cheap and cheerful, but i didn't partake. Dead as a doornail on the 23rd December??? Where does everybody go in Earls Court at Christmas?

This is a very unexceptional pub and I left without a drink as I didn’t appreciate standing at the bar for two minutes whilst waiting for the barmaid to finish on the phone.

I spotted Doom Bar, Youngs Bitter and Pride during my wait and there was also another ale being conditioned.

On my way out I noticed the plasma screen which was showing Sky Sports News which was muted and also a sign on the door advertising for team players (waiting staff), maybe they should also be looking for more bar staff.

I cannot see myself returning as there are better pubs opposite the tube station.

Four casks, including Sharps Doom Bar which was on the turn. Pleasant corner location. Offers an all day veggie breakfast. Fairly average place. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing outstanding either.

The pub which impressed me most on the Earls Court Road is Fuller's Blackbird, and that's where I would eat - though the Courtfield has a wider selection of cask ales, so is worth a look in.

Average Spirit Group pub, fairly good effort with the ales on tap (Pride, Doom Bar, Abbots and Theakston XB when I was there) but everthing's a bit lacklustre and the clientele is on the rough side, even for Earls Court. Didn't eat there but wasn't particularly tempted to.
