We went back today and the beer was as well kept as usual. Realised the last time we were in there was January, so far too long. As said previously it is tucked away from the main drag, but is well worth hunting out and trying some of the decent (and changing) ales on offer. We will be back.

Nice traditional pub tucked away from the main drag. Decent pint too...deuchars was particularly well kept. Some of the bar staff were a tad miserable and not particularly welcoming. Sadly a common trait these days.

Paid a rare Saturday visit yesterday - the place seems to have a totally different and more relaxed atmosphere at weekends. A decent couple of pints of Bombardier were had whilst nervously awaiting the result of the Man U - Liverpool match. This has been a favourite pub of mine for a while now and will continue to be so

We popped in here last week on the way to Loftus Road and found the beers to be in excellent condition and it appeared that they were holding a minin beer festival at the time. Everyone in our party was impressed with the quality of the ale and will be back again soon

I will always love this Pub. It's away from the street so staggering after a skinful out into the road is close to impossible. To get to it come out of Holborn Tube and turn right and then first right or left then first left both pathways lead to the SHIP.

The beer is a fair standard and the last time I was there a selection of about three or four fine ales was available. I don't know about regulars. I've only been when meeting friends prior to an evening football game in North London (Not that team from Woolwich) and normally it's a quite happy atmosphereQuite a Victorian feel to the decor.. Guys in suits winding down, that kinda thing.

Not tried the food yet. I'm quite fussy so if I have to pay high prices for food I want organic, for a start. Otherwise I'd pop over to that Chicken place opposite the Princess Louise. I haven't experienced food poisoning yet ;-)
