| WHAT A FANTASTIC LOOKING PU-oh it's a Sam Smiths, keep walking. wizzard - 22 Feb 2013 17:05 |
| Beautiful traditional London pub, but not the place for a quiet sit down drink. It was absolutely rammed at 6pm on a January Saturday. Despite several websites saying they did food, the barmaid said they didn't; no mention of an upstairs dining room though I found out later they have one. Sam Smith's bitter was nice and only £2.90 a pint. This would be a good pub for a quick stand up beer on the way somewhere or to show foreigners what a traditional pub used to look like, it wouldn't really be suitable for a quiet drink and read of the paper.

| Wow. I think we've all moved on from the fact that Sam Smiths pubs are no longer in the Wetherspoons price range any more, but this pub now charges £5.50 for a bottle of their own-brand porter. elegiac_stanzas - 20 Jan 2013 09:09 |
| Not sure which beer some reviewers were buying as we had three pints of Old Brewery Bitter and the round cost £8.70 (£2.90 a pint which I think is pretty good for Central London). I have always liked this pub - even before the magnificent restoration works- and I thought the beer was some of the best Sam's I have had in London for a long time. This is a "must see" pub and it still amazes me how a small Yorkshire brewery can manage to sell only their own products in this day and age. (e.g. No Coke - just their own brand cola - all beers; lagers and spirits are their own make so you wont see Bacardi or Bells or Fosters or Stella ! Even the crisps bear the Sam's name !!). Just round the corner from Holborn tube and well worth the visit. mcroyal - 2 Jan 2013 12:49 |
| I agree that EdLondon sounds suspiciously like Sam Smith's PR agent. I think the pub has been well restored however. Putting the partitions back in was a master stroke. The beer is no longer sold at SS's discounts and you really must watch the short measures - which SS are famous for, Tewin - 1 Jan 2013 15:23 |
