| Very small single-roomed pub, although I note att'd suggestions of a downstairs room (I didn't investigate, sorry). Very old appearance with leadlight windows and low-lit bar area (I walked into a stray barstool before I'd even had a drink!) contribute to an intimate feel even if the handful of punters ystdy were local office or legal staff. Decent soundtrack - Lola/Mack-theKnife stylee - although muted sky sports news was probably unnecessary. Despite the size of the bar, the 5 tables (max 16 covers) were all set for dining and notices displayed the daily 'cooked special' - a choice of 3 curries - Lal Mans, Coconut Dhania Murg, Aloo Gobi - with rice & nan plus salad or raita, £6.95. On leaving I noticed that the regular menu also comprised indian dishes. Pleased to find St Austell Tribute as an alternative to the usual suspects (Bombardier, Courage, IPA), and it was good. I imagine bar area could become quickly uncomfortable if busy, but not a bad place for a stop-off if on yr way to Edgar Wallace round the corner. Only open weekends for private functions. trainman - 6 Feb 2008 10:56 |
| I have not been to this place for years, but I can tell you the reviews pick out the one thing that this place was famous for when I would go in every other day - friendliness. The staff have always been wonderful and the food very nice. Long may it continue!! cohenfain - 15 Aug 2007 20:40 |
| Popped in again at night this time. I was the only one there so why stay open at night. However the two young Spanish staff were very pleasant.I shall do lunch times next time I am down in London. tinsoldier - 25 May 2007 20:26 |
| I went back in here a few days ago and was pleased to see that it has actually improved on my last visit. I had forgotten how well the beer was kept here, but I will definitely be making this a regular drinking hole for after work. The staff seem to go out of their way to be friendly to every one who comes in here, and this is a trait that I hope they continue - it adds a huge amount of value to any pub experience. It can get quite busy downstairs straight after work, but the service is pretty swift and their is a non-smoking room upstairs, as well as extra seating downstairs. Highly recommended. womble54321 - 29 Mar 2007 18:46 |
