| Will always hold a place in my heart as it is where I watched England win the Ashes in 2005. A gem in that it has Hall and Woodhouse beers. On the downside it is pricey. silentbob9484 - 1 Sep 2008 10:24 |
| Famous pub of two halves underneath Charing Cross Station Platform. We decided to use the left hand side as you approach from the station. After arriving I realised I had visited once before, before I owned a GBG. That will teach me for not reading the review before deciding. Never mind it is certainly worth another visit. This is one of the nine Hall & Woodhouse pubs in London. Three hand pumps on yesterday Badger, Tanglefoot and Fursty Ferret. I can't say I am their biggest fan but the Tanglefoot was ok. I like the pub and how small it is with the intimate little snug at the back. One of my mates felt hot in the pub and suggested we drink out in the passage between the pubs. An upturned barrel worked well as our table. There were not any other drinkers outside as it was drizzling a bit. Whilst we were there a largish group of good natured crawlers with pirate shirts with nick names on the back left the other side. They took the banter well when they soon all returned again. A good pub that broke up our journey between GBBF at Earls Court and Liverpool Street. Love_good_ale - 11 Aug 2008 00:16 |
| Warming to this pub. I am such a fan of the nearby Harp, but when there is a crowd this is probably better for standing outside. My memories of ten years ago of incredibly smoky bars now gone. Beers good, and not too expensive and friendly staff baggydave - 25 Jul 2008 13:21 |
| I liked it in this pub as it was a bit different standing outside between the two bars. I had a couple of pints from each side and they were all very good. The staff were also very friendly and I was served by a very posh sounding barman in the main bar. I’d make a minor detour to have another few beers in here if I was in the locality.

| DATE OF VISIT: 21/05/08 First impressions were that it was decorated in a traditional way and seemed quite welcoming though I never went to both parts of the pub. Good choice of ales. I opted for the Hopping Hare (£3 a pint) and had the stake & ale pie which was very nice. Toilets were clean and the staff friendly. It seems to me that it's mainly frequented by city-types who just want a quick pint during a lunch break. It's not the sort of place I'd go to to spend an evening there but if you're waiting for a train or just passing by then that's fine but otherwise I wouldn't make a beeline to go there. 7/10 wezmiester - 22 May 2008 09:17 |
