Small but bright pub with many original features. Ales kept very well. With a mass of pubs in the area could do a lot worse and I'd visit again.

In my experience, this pub is always busy due to its location in the heart of theatreland as well as being close to Somerset House (I've been here a couple of times before the outdoor gigs there). As its a Nicholsons you won't find a vast array of guests but the ales they do stock are extremely well kept. I'm not one to usually rave about pub food but the fish and chips here are amongst the best I've had. Not one to neccesarily go out of your way for but you could do a lot worse.

London Pride, Deuchars IPA and Cairngorm Autumn Nuts on – the latter at £2.90 a pint, and it was in excellent nick as well. This is a longish, narrow corner pub at the Aldwych end of The Strand. It is bare-boarded now, but does have an attractive plaster decorated ceiling that looks as if it might be original, as well as a rather nice red marble fireplace at the back of the ground floor bar and some marble facing on the walls.

It didn’t seem very welcoming when I was in there at noon the other day. The service was OK, but the door was being kept open (expecting deliveries?) making it fairly cold inside, plus there were some cleaning materials still on the bar making me feel a little like I had arrived before anyone was expected. A couple of girls in there for the breakfast kept their thick coats on the whole time. I suppose if I came at another time it would be warm and welcoming. This used to be one of my locals in the 70s – when they did Bass and Charrington’s IPA. At least the beer has improved. I remember one of our group saying that he would give up beer when it reached £1 a pint – he never did! It’s still OK as a pub, but I don’t think that I would go out of my way to visit though.

In last night. Batemans XXXB, Pride, Pedigree, Landlord and Cairngorm Autumn Nuts which was good. Basically your bog standard Nicholsons.
