| When in Covent Garden I usually patronise the Lamb and Flag but by way of a change I have used the Essex Serpent a couple of times recently. The other comments are pretty fair. It's not a bad boozer but a bit dark and dreary and, since the management cuts costs by only having one bar staffer on at a time, the tables get piled up with empty glasses which, in a small place like this, cuts down on elbow room. guayabera - 29 Dec 2009 13:08 |
| The beer here was fine (we tried the Adnams) and this was the only pub where we managed to get a seat, but the pub somehow seemed to lack a bit of character. multiplexor - 8 Nov 2009 10:21 |
| Had a drink in here with some mates the other night and found the place rather nice. It wasn't very busy for a saturday night and was completely empty downstairs. The ale was nice and we enjoyed a good hour in the pub. I'll definately return. Paulb014 - 28 Oct 2009 14:54 |
| Always liked the Essex, even more so now as they have given it quite a hefty refurb. It still has a very traditional feel with modern surroundings. The beer was excellent and it's good to see the Essex entering a new chapter. Greegor_F - 13 Oct 2009 15:14 |
| The lack of decoration and the smell of piss led me to believe that some scallywag had found an abandoned shop and stuck a bar at the end of it. The Adnams was good and Batemans’ XB and Broadside were also available alongside some premium and a limited selection of standard lager. When most other places in the area were reasonably busy this place was dead and there were actually two blokes standing there staring at the TV which was switched off. The cellar bar was closed, but on the way to the toilet upstairs I did pass through the “Modern British Restaurant” which was in reality a few tables and chairs in the upstairs bar that were taken up with a number of tourists who seemed to be enjoying themselves. I’ll leave this place to the tourists in future. Strongers - 30 Apr 2009 14:32 |
