| Not a lot to add to the last few recent posts really. Only a few minute walk from Chancery Lane tube. Visited early evening on a sunny Friday in May. Not to busy when I arrived, but beginning to heave when I left an hour or so later. Good selection of real ales, though don't recall the specifics. I am impressed that they have the current choice on a blackboard (so you don't have to go peering at the individual taps), along with a 'coming soon' list. Beer was well kept, and didn't have a complaint about any of my 3 pints. Realtively small inside and, whilst it has the oldy-worldy-woody feel inside, it is, perhaps, a little characterless. That aside, no complaints, and thoroughly recommend on the visiting list of any passing real ale head. Mercurial - 12 May 2008 11:32 |
| Visited on Friday night. First pub in a 10 pub crawl. Excellent choice of beers as usual, 8 Real ales. Had to stop for 3 that were all great. A must visit for any real ale drinkers due to the excellent choice of ales. As already stated elsewhere all the beers are of a low-middle strength. The strongest I saw was 5%. Fairly busy but not packed. TheHorsesMouth - 12 May 2008 08:29 |

| Darkstar Old, Nethergate Umbel Magna (porter), Salopian Abbey Gates, Bushys Castletown Bitter, Redcar Best (by Nethergate), Stonehenge Sign of Spring (green), Hop Back Back Row, Cotleigh Barn Owl, plus a list of 6 ‘coming soon’ incl Harveys Porter & Tring Great Gully. Single room pub, nice dark wood throughout & old wood floor, burgundy papered ceiling countered by large 2/3rd height windows around which a dozen barstools provide drinking sections from which to watch the world go by. Not cheap at £3.10 but I wasn’t too surprised round here. Had a chat with the barman & only other punter in there at 15:00 yesterday, good place. Combine it with the Edgar Wallace just a few minutes walk away & you’ve got 16 handpumps offering non-mainstream beers – pity neither open at weekends. trainman - 4 Apr 2008 10:46 |
| Visited for the first time last week during a two-day crawl of London's finest. Was impressed with both the range and quality of the cask ale, and the friendliness of the staff. Quiet after 9pm but well worth a trip. graeme666 - 28 Mar 2008 15:41 |
