| Ok, lets face it, this isn't the most prettiest of pubs from the outside but be pateint. Its in a good Central London location bordering both Holborn and Covent Garden and its secluded enough not to be to out of the way or to be swamped with tourist. Its good for watching the match as its roomy and you dont have to strain your neck to get a good view. i thought that the draught ales and bitter have been kept well and the staff are nicely turned out, white shirts, neat ties, nice & traditional. I've only ever gone there on Saturdays so I cant say too much but I do wish the bloody Freemason would not go there en-mass. Each Saturday, after a lot of hand shaking and trouser lifting, they decend on this place and block the entrance with black briefcases. Apart from that, its nice DOGBOTTLE - 18 Jul 2011 16:44 |
| I liked this pub in a nice traditional old fashioned pub way. It's quite basic in design and furnishings, but cosy and somehow pulls off a relaxing chilled out environment. Good old rock tunes being played through the speakers ... ELO, Elvis etc. The staff were are really friendly and helpful ... I like the barmen (who according to a previous review, have worked here for 15 to 20 years) dressed in shirt and ties ... again in an old fashioned / traditional manner. I sampled the chilli con carne and chips, which was decent enough for a fiver. Portion was very generous and I struggled to finish it all. The only down side is there isn't a massive selection of drinks on offer. Only 2 ales and sadly as is the norm for 93% of UK pubs these days, the only cider was Wrongbow. It's better than many pubs in this area and since my office is 20 yards away, I wouldn't hesitate on lunching here in the future. Nice to see pubs like this can still hold their own whilst competing with the pretentiousness of the nearby chain "bars", All Bar One and Slug and Lettuce. Pat_Bateman - 11 Nov 2010 13:54 |
| Not the prettiest of pubs but a good, old-fashioned friendly service from landlords who know their stuff. Not a very wide selection of beers, but as one of the few places that doesn't get packed with tourists and Covent Garden shoppers in this area, that's not so much of a concern as finding a nice quiet pub! That said, it can get busy when there's a football match on as they have screens up. urbex_horror - 4 Aug 2010 13:00 |
