| Not a bad pub, but not great. The beers, decor, menu and staff are all pretty average. The Theakston's Old Peculier can be lovely, though I've had a sour pint more than once. Much better than The Queen's Larder on the corner, though The Lamb and The Rugby Tavern are only a short walk away. surgecommodore - 16 Oct 2007 11:25 |
| So many hand pumps. I think they had nine, but only three different ales on. Youngs bitter, London Pride and Theakston's Old Peculier. We tried all three as we went frequently having stayed next store at the Bloomsbury Park Hotel on Southampton Row. It is much cheaper than the Queens larder down the alley, but doesn't have as much character. It is clean and the ales are in good nick. Recommended. endoderm - 24 Feb 2007 16:22 |
| I went in this pub yesterday for lunch and unlike last reviewer think this pub is better than The Queen's Larder especially pricewise and more value for money! Lunch was very tasty, not usual sort of bland tasteless pub grub you seem to get in so many Central London pub. The woman behind the bar was extremely pleasant. The wine was very reasonably priced and had a lovely taste to it. But I would agree with the last reviewer about the interior. Seems slightly grim. Could be brightened up a bit. A pub I'd certainly recommend to anyone in the area. Alex6 - 6 Oct 2006 12:15 |
| Full of tourists, smells of fish and chips. Uninspiring though not unpleasant interior. There is a draw here though - Old Peculier on tap. The Queen's Larder two doors down is a better pub but this has the edge in terms of ales. anonymous - 4 Jul 2006 11:36 |
| Had my first taste of fish and chips here, and it was great. Theakston's Old Peculiar was fantastic. Staff was very friendly. I'll be back. urf - 5 Apr 2006 18:34 |
