Not a huge pub, but far enough from Oxford Circus (only a couple of minutes' walk, but enough to keep out the masses) to not be mega busy.
Friendly staff - nothing like being greeted with a cheery 'hello' as you walk through the door, being allowed to try the beer before buying, and have a bit of a conversation too.
My wife and sister went for the buy two larges glasses of wine and get the bottle deal (meant a £19 bottle was about £13) while I tried the particularly good Ruby Mild (Rudgate) and then the slightly less flavoursome London Glory (Greene King). Both £3.50 per pint and in decent nick.
Several ales on tap, and the guest beers rotate frequently, with a handful of bottled options too.
Food was good and had we not been off to a comedy gig, then a session would definitely have been in order, as I would happily have stayed for a few more.

I'm very sorry to hear of the incident below. It shouldn't happen and I apologise for it. Thankfully it is an example of something which I have never witnessed before and can't understand why it should have occurred on this occasion.
