Busy Saturday night, nine drunk people on a pub crawl, we got quick service and a lovely pint of (unsert name of real ale here). And my mate left his bag outside, came back 15 minutes later and it was still there. Can't complain.

I am frankly amazed by the above reviews of this pub. My boyfriend and I wanted a traditional English pub serving no-frills (or at least somewhere "frills" were optional) grub and that's what we got. It was a VERY busy Sunday afternoon and our only complaint was that desert took ages - but once informed the staff couldn't do enough to make amends. Some people expect far too much in my opinion. It was a great pub, excellent atmosphere, good food at excellent prices for London! We tipped well and will return.

Go to secretbeer.blogspot.com to read in full what I think of this pub. Could be very good with the right staff (ie) people who care about what they are doing but as is staffed by those who couldn't care less and view customers as an inconvenience I will not be back.

Visited on a hot thursday lunchtime.Beer was ok but the food was the worst we have ever had.It takes a particular skill to make a jacket potato inedible.To cap it all we had to wait 30mins for the food as it was cooked to order makes you wonder who was cooking it.This is sad because a bet lots of tourists visit and this is the worst example of english cuisine.A case for food police as the cooking and image are criminal!
