Went there for Friday lunch last week. Very impressed. Good selection of beers. I had a very nice pint of 6X to wash down a very tasty Fish Pie.

I'll be going back.

Fab time following a Smithfields breakfast. Smashing place, go there early (say before 11am) and lovely and empty. And unmodernised. Great.

Had a few pints here a couple of weeks ago. Was playing a gig across the road in a horrid wine bar type place, and this was blessed relief. Good Adnams, shame that the other handpumps were Courage Best / Directors (had a directors when the Adnams went off - very bland).

Pub itself is cosy and inviting. Bar staff friendly.

Only drawback... it closed at about 10pm on a Friday night, which is a shame.

I think the previous comment about "pushchair pushing yuppies" is a little unfair to say the least. For a start, the poster has tripped themselves up by saying that they haven't been there for some time - so how can they know what it is like now? Also, there is a recurring theme amongst other previous postings that the place could be a lot better. I'm certainly awaiting better news of the place before I go back.
