Busy busy busy media media media busy busy yah yah yah media.
Average pub, but gets so so busy on Thursday and Friday nights. Food (a year or so ago) was very average (when it was Thai) and not sure now. Quite pricey compared to other pubs that are similar.
Young crowd, mainly media daahlings, but can be fun.

We hired the basement bar last Saturday (05/04/08) for our party. Pascal the boss was friendly, amusing and very chilled out. The bar staff were attentive, smiling and having a good laugh with our guests.

They alloows us to put tea lights around and fairy lights and play our own music.

In short, it was a great night, all my friends enjoyed themselves and I am very impressed.

Thanks again!

I popped into the Sun and 13 Cantons on Friday 2nd November. The staff were friendly and we were served quickly, but the London Pride I ordered was really poor.

My ladyfriend ordered half a Star, but that was of very poor quality too. It had a strong unnatural aftertaste to it which made it undrinkable.

I offered to take her Star to the bar to get it exchanged. To be fair, the staff changed it immediately and whilst the new one was a little better, unfortunately it was still very poor.

In the end we had to leave our drinks because they were so bad and we went elsewhere.

I don't think I've ever met staff as rude as the manager of this bar.

I held my birthday party downstairs here. When I realised my friends were going to the bar upstairs to be served because they found no staff on the bar in the room I'd hired, or the bar too busy, I panicked a little about meeting the minimum spend. So i asked twice about an hour and half an hour before closing... my thinking being that I would rather treat all my friends to shots or champagne than give the bar £100, or I could encourage my 40-plus guests to drink more!

However I was refused each time - they just wouldn't tell me if I was near my minimum spend.

They then told me at closing that I was just over £100 off so they were keeping my deposit. They refused flatly to let me buy more drinks.

And it's not just that they did this it's the way they spoke to me. The manager was downright rude and really upset me and ruined my birthday. And believe me I am far too nice a person to have caused him to act like that. He was just nasty from the off.

If you're looking for somewhere to hire for a party I really would not recommend this place at all unless you want to be ripped off, treated like dirt and have your night ruined.

I would go for the Old Crown up on New Oxford Street. Now there's a bar with nice friendly helpful staff and a lovely room to hire.
