| The last call on a mini crawl of St James's /Mayfair tonight. Not bad but surprisingly uncrowded which might be saying something. The Hog's Back Summer Ale was delicious but I wouldn't have bracketed it with other summer ales. I was a bit irked when the barmaid cleared my glass away when I was paying a call of nature and I hadn't finished my drink. Ordinary - 21 Jul 2008 22:08 |
| This is a fairly small Nicholson’s pub. It features some rather impressive leaded lights windows, but it was not clear to me whether they were original features or a more modern addition. It also had an unusual tiled gantry which was no doubt a fairly modern addition. But it’s a nice enough little pub with some fairly decent ale – Sharpe’s Doom Bar; London Pride and Hogsback Summer Ale (I had the Sharp’s Doom Bar, which was fine). The only really negative point for me was the fact that the only seating was high stools around either ledges by the windows or high tables. I just don’t like this type of seating, but that is just my opinion – I suppose there must be some valid marketing justification for it as the trend seems to be spreading. OK for a pint if you happen to be passing, but it won’t become one of my regular haunts – The Red Lion round the corner in Crown Passage is much better. RexRattus - 19 Jul 2008 19:27 |
| It's a lovely old-style pub, I was a regular but the current management disappoints me. The staff is not dressed appropriately given the area, some of my collegues have had avoidable arguments with the manager, the food and the drinks are now too expensive. All the friendly atmosphere of last year seems gone Maryrs - 20 Jun 2008 20:31 |
| A big disappointment! Service was apalling. Two blokes behind the bar but only one seemed to be doing anything. Wasn't that busy but took ages to get served. Beer average to say the least. Will not be returning. TheHorsesMouth - 2 Apr 2007 17:56 |
| Excellent traditional London boozer. The "T.E.A" (Traditional English Ale) was in fine form when we went for a Friday lunchtime birthday bash. Superb, friendly service and good pub food. Wholly recommend this place. dyyony - 16 Feb 2007 14:32 |
