| Clean and functional Sheps pub not too far from The Still and Star and Aldgate Bus Station. I found the White Swan to be disappointingly bland with a typical sameness ( burgundy and cream walls, mixture of sofas and wooden bar stools, polished floor, chalk board menu etc ) that one associates with chain pubs. As the previous contributor correctly says, the pub lacks atmosphere. My pint of Spitfire (£ 3.00 ) was spot on, but I can't see myself doing this one again. Try the Still and Star instead if it's a proper pub with a bit of character and atmosphere that you're after JohnBonser - 15 Jun 2007 12:37 |
| It is obviously a lunchtime place, it was dead the evening we arrived. Good enough pint, clean and tidy. It just wasn't the place for us, no atmosphere whatsoever. 2pintsofbitter - 13 Feb 2007 10:34 |
| Nice pub, good beer if a little pricey (though standard for somewhere that's not a Wetherspoons I suppose). Shep's Spitfire, Masterbrew; Oranjieboum (sp?) and Holsten I think. (not a lager drinker...) Nice bar staff - all female (not that that makes a difference of course... honestly :-), very friendly landlady. Opposite a good Indian - a halal place that's had good reviews from colleagues, with a wide choice. - Sorry, bit off topic but not a bad place to go after the Mucky Duck if you don't like to eat on an empty stomach! andrex - 19 Jan 2006 16:28 |
| Good Shepherd Neame pub serving good beer. TheHorsesMouth - 20 Oct 2005 14:08 |
| A good pub with well-kept Shepherd Neame beers. One minor gripe - what is the point of having a non-smoking area that seems to be only the 2ft space next to the bar. It would be quite easy to make one room non-smoking which would be good as it can be quite smokey in here. GrahamA - 10 Mar 2005 11:17 |
