Lunchtime visit again and found the food and Spitfire in tip top condition. A really comfortable pub. A pity its shut at weekends.

A Shepherd Neame pub in a nice residential location not too far from Holborn. Plenty of people were enjoying the pedestrianised area outside the front of the pub, as it was a nice early summer's day. The inside is nicely decorated and fairly cosy. It has cream walls, is carpeted and displays various rugby pictures on the walls. Spitfire & Master Brew were the only 2 real ales, with the Early Bird off. A nice location. But there are better pubs in the area with a better selection of beers.

This is always a very pleasant, clean, well lit, pleasant pub with good beer. Well worth adding to the pub crawl.

This is a nice enough Shepherd Neame boozer with Late Red, Master Brew and Spitfire being the ale choices alongside their usual draught selection. There is another bar upstairs, but it was closed during my week night visit due to the pub being very quiet.

The back ground music was decent and at a good volume and I spotted a plasma screen that was showing muted Sky News, but I didn’t spot any signs for Sky Sports which I found odd in a pub with Rugby memorabilia on the walls which is called the Rugby Tavern.

The barman was friendly enough and the pub is spacious with some character and I would return here again even though I’m not a big fan of Shep pubs.
