| We were recommended this place, and were looking forward to a good night. I wish I'd read some of the other reviews on here - forewarned might have meant we were fore-armed. The pub itself is fantastic, and just the sort of place we love. It's location is perfect for dodging the beery crowds that make Saturday night in London aggravating for us - on Midsummer's Night's Eve we were treated to birdsong as the last of the sun brought a glow to the impressive Law Courts opposite. Undeterred by one bizarre barmaid's false cackling to one table-load of patrons, (followed by a sullen and silent point to the chalkboard when we checked whether there was another menu,) we made our way onto the street to perch on a couple of upturned crates and appreciate the ambiance. All should have been copasetic, but it was rather ruined by the following exchange : Manageress (?) (storming up to unsuspecting husband) : GIVE ME A LIGHT Unsuspecting husband : Surely, that's 'give me a light, please' ? Manageress : OH GO FUCK YOURSELF THEN (storms off) Charming. However bohemian and 'original' the staff might think themselves to be, they are sadly mistaken. Affectation is not the same as bonhomie, nor is this contrived eccentricity welcoming. Get some f***ing manners, luv. You're old enough to know better. Will be giving this a wide swerve til the godawful harpies jog on. cheekyhalfpinter - 22 Jun 2009 20:08 |
| Excellent little pub, full of character. People friendly (including the fat black cat hogging the bar stool) superb beer. Strange toilet arrangements, but nevertheless, I shall go there again. nich52 - 27 May 2009 12:28 |
| A gem of a pub, one of my favourites in the area. Great home cured herring and potato salad and a pint of cold Bitburger and the two barmaids were very friendly and welcoming, what else could you ask for. dalglish - 21 Apr 2009 14:17 |
| Certainly an anthropological goldmine - where lawyers go to die (or at least to get themselves through sunday evening) and the nature of hospitality proffered is very much of the Marmite variety. Can't complain on factual grounds with many of the gripes expressed on these pages, but I've got to say that i like this place, particularly when sat on the kerb opposite with a pint of a nice beer from Sussex, a drinking buddy/life partner and the evening sun on your face. Quite novel resting your pint on the steps of the Royal Courts of Justice too. Definitely worth a pint or three here, make your own mind up. It's certainly unique. gcc24 - 12 Apr 2009 20:29 |
| Nonsense, it's a great pub. Returned on Wednesday for 4 and a half perfectly served pints of Landlord (3 other real ales available), a delicious plate of herrings and potato salad, and half a plate of cheese. Bar staff and fellow drinkers more than pleasant. Go to this pub. pipsby - 27 Mar 2009 14:03 |
