I'm liking this pub more and more. Staff are friendly, food is OK although the beer is a bit hit and miss which really lets it down. Good hide away from the office.

The last time I came in here was prior to the recent refurbishment. The basics were intact but the place was rather tatty with worn seats and a rather tired feel. The sympathetic refurbishment has given the place a modern trendy buzz without ruining the historic ambience. The elegant main bar area has a dark and rich feel to it and features some superb Victorian tiling, large mirrors and a fireplace with an ornate wooden surround. The pub narrows to the rear where the décor is a bit lighter and doubles up as a photo gallery. A couple of model WWI biplanes dangle overhead between a couple of coloured glass skylights and at the rear a small, bright, open courtyard is ideal for the nice weather that we frequently enjoy! The beers (Black Sheep, Old Hooky and 1 off – Pride looking at the shape of the clip) are well kept (they are cask marquee accredited) although you will experience the steeper end of “London” prices. The ambience is generally relaxed with easy going music and when it isn’t too busy, it is a great place to while away a few hours. Definitely recommended if in his area.

The decor is very nice, spot on, not too tarty.

They have a little sun trap out the back, but if you want to get a seat out there this summer you will have to be there about five o clock to beat the office rush.

Good place for a lunchtime beer. The food is nice, the beer is good and the barmaids are spot on.

My current favourite Holborn watering hole.

The ale was good – Old Hookey and Deuchars IPA – although very busy for a Tuesday and nowhere to perch inside other than by the bar. As such, we were forced out onto the street like dogs.

When I went, it seemed to be full of Hooray Henry students, which wasn’t too appealing.

Even so, a pretty decent place and a solid six, assuming I’m not standing in the street engulfed by the posh unwashed.

Visited on Saturday 17th Feb. Hook Norton Old Hookey was in great nick. The other two beers available were London Pride and Deuchars IPA.

No intrusive music on my visit and the staff were pleasant and efficient.

As many other posters have pointed out, the refurb is pretty good and hasn't devastated the old victoriana.

Hope to visit again late March.
