A complete hellhole but have to agree with Jack Carter that it keeps twentysomething arseh0les out of pubs that I like (especially Dirty Dick's and Williams)

Having been dragged here by younger colleagues a couple of times I can report that the clientele is mainly represented by the following:

Men: - back office nobheads with hugh tie-knots, square-toed shoes and zits on the back of their neck quaffing Stella as if there is no tomorrow despite the fact that two pints appears to make them lose what little intellectual faculties they may have had upon entrance.

Women: short-skirted, bottle blonde slappers wearing large hooped earrings and displaying a complete inability to comunicate below the level of hogh pitched shrieks.

Topped off by deafening music this pit realliy is a refuge for peeople from points east seeking solace in strong lager, Bacardi Breezers and, by the end of the evening, each other - by which point it really does resemble sonething out of Dante's Inferno

Anyone with more than two brain cells who enjoys a decent pint and likes to hear what their companions are saying really should stay away

Awful pub, but at least it serves a good purpose, as it attracts the wankers away from the pubs I like to drink in.

This place is dubbed: "The Gateway to Essex"; Why ? 678 girls everyday in very short skirts get off the train at Liverpool St hoping to meet city traders with loads of cash (the pub is opp Liverpool St). What they meet is guys in cheap NEXT suits with Jamie Oliver haircuts claiming they earn £900,000+ a year.... if you're a chic from Essex the only thing you'll get out of this place is the phone numbers from 400 reptiles who want to get down your pants and who knows you might just take one or more of them home !

Same old P&P in design but particularly distasteful due to the meat market interactions.

Ah, the P & P! Frequented by simple folk with simple pleasures,..earthy, salt-of-the-earth types,.strong, home counties values and beliefs,...you know,..morons.

At the risk of being pilloried for holding an opinion, I have to strongly disagree with what has been written immediately below. It is simply wrong on, and on so many levels. You can probably see that for yourself though.

What you have here is a chain bar without attitude, a joyless scene that sums up exactly what is wrong with such places.

Seeing the worker bees of the business world, with their fist-sized tie knots, diagnonal checked shirts, gelled hair and Next Suits drunkenly dancing with pissed up essex girls before jumping back on the train to nowheresville may, however, be your idea of fun. If so, be my guest.

In all seriousness, you are actually better off in Wetherspoons. And that really is a concession.
