| I'm ashamed to say that it took an American (mattygroves) to show me where this place is, but now I know, why, I go there whenever I can, and sometimes when our other halves are otherwise occupied, we go together! What a great way to spend Saturday afternoon. It's not too busy, the array of interesting beers is sadly too many for me to try all of in one session (hic), and I gotta say, I love their food. A pint of an independant brewer's stout and half a dozen Maldon oysters - need I say more? Likewise the hand-crimped pork pies with a dollop of English mustard are a delight. I'd give it 10/10 if it wasn't for the London prices! A true city pub which is long and thin, seemingly going on foevever away from the street, with lots of intimate nooks and crannies for playing footsy as you get squiffier. billynibbles - 12 Jul 2011 17:52 |
| £3.95 for a pint of bitter - ouch. Wandering_Star - 20 Jun 2011 13:17 |
| The Sorcerer i had was in pretty good nick, but i would prefer a glass, rather than the pewter tankards. The pub is in need of an overhaul, the once beautiful tiles outside are filthy and the whole place smacks of needing a bit of TLC. At the prices they charge, they could surely afford to spend a bit more on cleaning ! wellinformed - 14 Apr 2011 13:14 |
| Good city pub with a good selection of well kept ales. Not sure about the tankard thing though. I was given one without requesting it. At first I thought , what the hell for the novelty value, but I think the pint of Mad Goose I had would have been far better in a glass. One of your better ale houses in the Smithfield vicinity.

| I visited this pub in late July - the beer Pure Goose was excellent, the staff friendly. Beer served in pewter tankards if requested - which was great for our Swedish visitors. Also has a well stocked humidor for those who appreciate a fine Cuban. As others have said - this is not a cheap option, and seating is at a premium, but was my regular for a two week period in 2009 when working around the corner in St Johns St, and is my favourite pub in the area.
