| A very nice pub in a great spot, but the assumed landlord was very surly and made us feel extremely unwelcome almost from the minute we walked in. Would like to give the place another go, but I won't be back any time soon. JonnyB78 - 16 Dec 2011 14:42 |
| They might be on Holiday that might explain the beer. Sunny1234 - 12 Jun 2011 13:14 |
| oh dear, what's happened here? this used to be one of the best sams pubs in london. Not today OBB barely drinkable, one of our group ordered a wheat beer, served by a snarling landlord, about 3/4 full, that's the best I can do he said, we drunk up and left, a pity because it left a half empty pub littlecon - 12 Jun 2011 10:39 |
| I really like this pub...went last week, twice! It was empty the first time we went, but the manageress advised that it always was at the time of day we went in. Went back a few days later and it was busy inside and yet more people were probably stood outside as in. The manager was great, they'd been there about nine months and they keep the best pint of Old Brewery Bitter that I've ever had. The pub was lovely, interesting and clean...the floor was shining despite the number of people that had walked over it that day. Unusual short doors to the front of the pub for the drop...the actual celar drop was inside the pub, and these door would be opened to allow the barrels to be rolled into the pub and down the drop. The doors can just about be seen in Ian's top photo at the bottom of the pub in the second and third wooden section to the right of the photo (if that makes sense). I was really impressed all round with this pub and wish the managers luck. I'll definitely be visiting this pub again....hopefully soon! DB. DarkieBoy - 2 Jun 2011 11:51 |
| I have to say this place serves in my opinion the best Sam Smiths i have tasted, over the last three or four years i pop in sporadically but am always surprised by the quality, i am not a huge fan of Sam Smiths beer but this pub is making me change my mind. On my last visit i had a chat with the new managers and they are very friendly. wellinformed - 14 Apr 2011 13:05 |
