Great Shepherd Neame pub in a cracking area, beautiful interior, wonderful beers and the burger I tried was delicious, will be going back soon!

Delightful ambiance and great service. The restaurant upstairs has lovely old world charm and a great sactuary from the hustle and bustle of the city. A nice place to catch up with work collegues and enjoy and fine beer or ale before retiring upstairs to have a meal and some fine wine. Very friendly staff make for a pleasant atmosphere. Would highly recommend this pub to others.

Not been in this pub for years now. Though pleased to see its still going. Will call in for a few next time I'm in that direction. I used to go in quite a lot when I worked just accross the road. Does anyone else recollect a landlord name of TINY ? Early 70's I think? we heard he was sacked so we boycotted the place for a coupla months;never saw him again though. Eventually the lure the best Sheps for miles was too much! Anyone else recall Tiny?

Nice dark wood single roomed Shepheard Neame pub on the south side of Smithfield market. Master Brew, Bishops Finger, Late Red and Spitfire on pump. The backdrop to the bar was impressive as is often the case in SN pubs.

It was relatively quiet on my visit and a nice relaxing place for a drink.

Popped in a couple times just after lunchtimes and found this pub to be busy but without being heaving and possible to find a seat. The beers are pretty good too and there is outside seating. Bit of a nightmare to the toilets as it's like climbing Ben Nevis to get to them (and back)!

All in all a decent boozer though and will try the fine looking food next time.
