| Pretty standard sort of place with a preponderance of tourists in attendance. The interior is longish and quite narrow with the bar along the right hand side and plenty of seating scattered about. Ale offering is pretty decent with Pride, Old Peculier, London Reindeer, Old Speckled Hen and Broadside available. This pub is decent if unremarkable but has too many tourists and is not as good as some of the nearby competition. murgatroyd - 15 Nov 2010 09:38 |
| Long, thin room with a narrow frontage and dark wallpaper meaning that it is pretty dark inside. Also somewhat plainly decorated, giving a somewhat soul-less impression. Five handpumps, offering guest ales such as Pedigree, GK Swift and Broadside (top condition, but curiously priced at £3.18) in addition to the regular Doom Bar and Old Peculier. Efficient bar staff and kitchen. rpadam - 8 May 2010 10:48 |
| Had a cracking pint of Doom Bar, priced at a reasonable (for London) £2.90. Polite staff. Komakino - 14 Mar 2010 20:03 |
| There's nothing offensive about this place. But neither is there anything to recommend it for either. Four real ales on - London's Reinbeer Ale, Greene King Old Speckled Hen, Theakston Old Peculier and Adnam's Broadside. Plenty of people were partaking in the standard pub grub. blue_scrumpy - 1 Jan 2010 22:29 |
| An unscheduled stop due to The Rugby Tavern nearby being shut on Saturday afternoon. A single long narrow room with the bar on a side wall. Wood floor with a tiled splash area by the bar. the tables were a bit crammed together I felt, and it was a bit too warm inside on a mild November day. I found the place to be a bit "plastic" in so far as no original features were discernible, and nothing felt even vaguely old and worn in. There are the usual old photos and pictures on the wall, a plasma TV showing Sky Sports News is oddly set in a gilded picture frame on a central chimney breast. My notes say it looks like a chain, but I couldn't work out which, but it looks like Rex below has answered that one. Cheerful Eastern European staff, and in fairness a well kept pint but I had to ask for a top up. Brains Top Notch (£3.08), Doom Bar, Theakston Old Peculiar....not seen that around here for a bit, Pride and Old Speck Hen. It was ok but fairly underwhelming to be honest.
