| Visited on Thursday 29 March, a lovely sunny day so plenty of people outside. Got very crowded as the evening after work rush began but we got in just before and bagged a table. Good range of beers quite a few golden ales – Dark Star American IPA which was good although the freshly washed glass was very warm, this was replaced by Maldon Gold also good, a best bitter George Best was good as was the Barrister’s brief despite the terrible name. My mate had the mild until this went off and he switched happily to the George Best despite being a Liverpool fan. Didn’t try the food so can’t comment on that, but very good beer, very good service for a busy pub, some great old posters and adverts, love the Double Diamond and Watney's Red pumps though thankfully those ghastly brews are million miles from what's served now, thoroughly recommended. 8/10 Monkdawallydahonk - 30 Mar 2012 15:33 |
| Excellent cosy and atmospheric with an great selection of ales including 3 stouts/porters. Prices not too bad for the area. Lots of weird bric-a brac including old fag adverts , washing powder boxes!! and lots of Edgar Wallce stuff. Highly recommended. baxterfish - 25 Feb 2012 12:44 |
| How I haven't drunk in here before, I don't know. Popper in last night before a theatre show, chatty but chilled atmosphere, 8 ales on tap with a range of light, pale, smoked and stouts on offer. Tried a taster of 4 at suggestion of friendly bar staff and settled on a pint of Rudgate Barristers Brief (which seemed appropriate, givem the locality). Well kept beer, and we also ordered some food which was excellent value for money. Prices are reasonable given it's location, service was very good indeed, staff were helpful and happy and we'll definitely be visiting again in the near future. Lovely little pub, first class.

| Probably a fair comment about beer variety Steamer1; tend to drink Crouch Vale, Harveys etc. if in here, as they are the sort of beers I prefer, but if that sort of thing is not to your taste could see the range as being a bit samey. Very good though all told; can get very busy first thing after work especially on a Thursday or Friday but usually quietens down after an hour or two. mps77 - 16 Feb 2012 18:06 |
| First time back here since the change of ownership. Still a great atmosphere. Might have been unlucky but the choice of ales was a bit samey with no mild/porter/old or stout on. Strange for this time of year. Steamer1 - 16 Dec 2011 16:19 |
