| Call me old fashioned but I love pubs that are divided into small rooms. There is just something about them that makes a place more like a public house, and less like a communal boozer. The silly duck under doors just add to the fun. They are a good sobriety test. Good pub, decent service and beer in good shape. Its Sam Smiths which is the Marmite of brewers (love em or hate em) so the selection as mentioned is limited. Beautiful river views for the tourists. My only complaint was we had intended on having a meal. Sandwich board out front was advertising food, the menus were out, the condiment station was stocked. When we went to order, "no food today".

| Generally, well updated Sam Smiths pub I visited today, excellent views over the river upstream and down (including over to the other visible Sam Smiths, the Captain Kidd, on the opposite bank). Although a stranger I think I preferred the atmosphere of the Angel to the ambience of the Captain Kidd, had the impression the Angel was identifiably local custom so more of a regular meeting place whereas the Captain Kidd seemed to be a mix of some locals, passing trade, tourists, early finishing City/Canary Wharf workers and a bit transitory. Beer well kept/served, only minor niggle - I find the odd sized stable (half)doors dividing up the sections of the downstairs a bit twee, had seen the similar in the Earl of Lonsdale (also SS) in W11 and thought them equally odd there. _grobag_ - 23 Mar 2009 21:12 |
| I rather like the refurbishment with the way the pub is divided into separate sections, and the river view is splendid. However, the side is rather let down by the absence of any real ale - my tactic was to go for the Taddy Porter, but that's over £3 a bottle. pubcollector - 22 Feb 2009 18:55 |
| Visited 25.10.08. Nice pub, friendly locals and staff, but, oh, the food! It's obviously all "cardboard" ready-meals and I can honestly say that my friends and I all agreed it was the worse food we had every had anywhere - certainly not up to even basic pub food standard. So, go have a nice drink there, but don't eat there. Sooze - 27 Oct 2008 16:04 |
| Has been nicely and tastefully referbed and boast some nice small rooms around the main bar. The outside terrace is superb. Still quite a locals pub given it’s slight fame, although that makes it more atmospheric in my opinion. (And I was in on meat raffle night, which is always a good barometer of a pub’s character.) Sam Smith’s beer, which is great if you like it. mrse1 - 1 Jul 2008 14:37 |
