| Excellent spot, in an area full of cracking pubs- 8 real ales as advertised. Deservedly in the Camra 2008 guide. BlindTiger - 2 May 2008 16:13 |
| Very good pub, one of these nice pubs off the beaten track that’s not crowded, you can relax on one of the sofa’s with pint. With a wide selection of 8 real ales on I could have spent all day in there going through them all. Most definitely worth a visit. sootythebeerbear - 26 Mar 2008 01:23 |
| Now firmly placed in my list of favourite London boozers. Took a colleague in there the other day and he was impressed too. They usually have 8 real ales on and Shane the Landlord is always happy to have a crack about the beer. The staff in general here are very good too. A pub that's maybe slightly off the beaten track so to speak but worth seeking out. The food looks good too so I'll have to give it a go sometime. All in all a top place. Keep up the good work!

| I totally agree with all the positive comments about this pub. I visited on Friday night and it was great. It was very busy but with a a good atmosphere and fast, efficient service. The bar staff and landlord were very friendly and one barmaid even delivered our Guinnesses to our table. Dave_Home - 17 Mar 2008 12:34 |
| How on earth has this place escaped the radar for so long? Possibly as its never occurred to me to use ‘Temple’ as a location search, but it’s on my map now. By far the best choice of beers I have found anywhere near here; yesterday Adnams, Edgar’s Pale Ale (by Nethergate), Brewers Gold, Cottage Swordfish, Rebellion Smuggler, Banks&Taylor Shefford bitter, 1648 Hop Pocket, Nethergate Augustinian, and all well kept. Plenty of old pumpclips around the bar – always a good sign of willingness from the pub to provide changing & interesting ales. Food looked good too & if I hadn’t been moving on I could easily have been tempted by the day’s special of seared swordfish sarnie with pancetta, tartare, salad, & skin-on chips (£8.50), or chicken & chorizo skewers with jalapeno coleslaw from the typed menu (£5). Very friendly guv’nor who chatted about the beers & brewing & suggested reading microbrewers’ handbook, Ted Bruning. A real shame that part of the pub’s appeal in a ‘hidden’ location also contributed to a failed recent attempt to support weekend opening – apparently they’ll give it another go in the summer. trainman - 1 Feb 2008 10:28 |
