| 4 ales on handpump. £3.89 a pint. Was in and out early mid-week so wasn't over busy. No problem getting served. alecstewart - 12 May 2013 14:27 |
| Lovely little boozer down an alleyway off Cornhill. Friendly staff, decent beer, and set in an olde worlde alleyway with (as the previous review mentioned) a fair bit of history. Only downside is the sphincter-clenching prices - £4.40 for a pint of San Miguel - so probably not somewhere to go if you're looking for a night out on a budget.... steve5312 - 19 Jun 2012 10:08 |
| Known as the, "Jampot". Upstairs is really broken into three mini sized bars with oak pannelling... means there are loads of nooks and crannies to put yourself it can get rather cramped and if you are in the wrong place at the wrong time the service can struggle. However, before Shepherd Neame took it over it was an abysmal place. It does sit on the site of the first London Coffee house - Pasqual Rosee's Head 1652 - and became the Jamaica Coffee House frequented by West India merchants - round the corner was Lloyd's (origins of our Insurance Market), Jonathan's (origins of our Stock Market) and the Jerusalem (origins of the Baltic Exchange). For me the history is walk takes me there as much as the quality of the beer. NLBS - 16 May 2012 13:29 |
| Paid a very quick visit on my way over to Southwark on a Thursday evening. Consequently the pub was very busy but there was at least four bar staff and little or no wait. Four ales on tap, I had the Oranjeboom but looking at the pints being pulled the ale certainly looked well cared for. Having walked down the lane from Cornhill the pub looked very small from the outside esspecially with the current scaffolding, however it was surpsingly big on the inside and there were plenty of drinkers outside where you can stay until 9pm. Interior is very basic (world away from the Counting House round the corner), but this for me added to it's charm. Will most certainly be back for a longer visit. kevmac - 10 Jun 2011 15:49 |
| I knew there was a reason I had decided not to visit this place for 5 years, the staff & their inability to serve the punters. Waited ages as the pub was busy but with a big bar & just 2 staff this is not surprising. When I eventually got served my barmaid went into meltdown including serving a pimms in a shot glass! Joke of a place staffed by youngsters who do not understand how to run a busy pub, shame really as it has alot of history & in a great location. BOBSTERTHELOBSTER - 20 Apr 2011 09:52 |
