| Just a good old school boozer that does what it says on the tin. Always has a warm orange glow. Beers aren't up to much but we forgive it boomer - 24 Jun 2009 19:15 |
| What a shame this pub employs the rudest bar staff I have come across in a while. Customer service is non-existent, which considering the current economic climate is essential. Otherwise a charming environment. roma001 - 21 Jun 2009 10:36 |
| They now have four real ales on handpump (Harvey’s Best; Crouch Vale Brewer’s Gold; Brodie’s IPA; and Brodie’s Red) plus Watkins & Sons Ty Brin draught cider. I had the Brodie’s red which was a new one on me – it was a darkish ale with a rich, deep caramelish flavour (oops, beginning to sound like a real ale twat!). This remains the best pub in the Covent Garden area. RexRattus - 8 Apr 2009 18:29 |
| Pleasant oasis close to Covent Garden. Well tended baskets and shrubs to the front. Dimly lit, bar with brass footrail to one side with the majority of seating opposite. Full of assorted bric a brac, everything imaginable in brass, a couple of old street signs, plenty of Beatles memorabilia over the bar, pics, album covers and discs, (is there a connection?), and the aforementioned dark wood panelling covered in portraits,landscapes, cartoons and caricatures. There is even a deers head. Dimpled pint jugs hang from hooks over the bar, but I didn't spot anyone drinking from one. Brodies IPA and Special, Crouch Vale Brewers Gold plus one pump reverse clipped, additionally a real cider, Janet's Jungle Juice, 6%. Busy and chatty Saturday afternoon, I just sneaked a seat as a couple left after I got my pint. No sign of a TV and music playing at a very low volume. In all a nice spot, but a touch too gloomy to read my book. Maldenman - 1 Mar 2009 08:39 |
| Battled in through the snow yesterday at about 12:10 to find that along with a pensioner who entered at the same time as us we were the first customers of the day. So thanks to the weather it's the first time I've been in and had a pick of the seats. Pleasant barman who gave me the extra half pint of lager he'd pulled in error - 'It would just get chucked away otherwise'. Was pleased to see custom pick up later as some of the regulars appeared to have braved the journey into work despite the warnings. Still one of my favourite London pubs.
