| Not in for a while - but passing by far too early one morning recently remebered to notice the 'display' of champers bottles in the window; nothing fancy about the RE inside, but no doubt these bubbles were bought and enjoyed here, on the back of a good day at the races, a deal done...maybe a decree fini! A boozer of the 1st class in London terms. gonetolunch - 13 Jun 2009 15:48 |
| Small, street-corner single bar locals pub in a side street off Praed Street and close to the hospital. The Royal Exchange is an Irish run free house. Inside, there's no carpet, but the numerous horse racing photos and pictures help create a traditional pubby atmosphere. Note in particular a splendid painting of the pub with a horse galloping past in the street outside. There's a piano and I gather that music nights ( singalongs ?) are from Thursday to Saturday evenings. Amongst the plethora of lager fonts on the bar are two handpumps, sitting there almost apologetically. On my recent Sunday afternoon visit, these were dispensing a rather moderate and slightly chilled pint of Brakspears - £ 2.90p - and the ubiquitous Greene King IPA. Real ale is evidently not a big seller here, but this is a good pub in all other respects and worth seeking out if you're in the area. JohnBonser - 21 Apr 2009 13:38 |
| We stayed in the Paddington area for two nights on a recent visit to England (from the USA). Went here the first night - Brakspear and Greene King IPA cask both very good. Food was excellent - the Steak & Murphys pie is higly recommended, as are the roasts. VERY fair prices on both food and beer. Staff were friendly and attentive, but not "chatty" - customers were also friendly. We liked it so much we went back the second night! - Highly recommended! limey - 16 Apr 2009 16:13 |
| Very good no-nonsense boozer, handy for Paddington, manned by friendly Irish staff. Had Brakspear Bitter and Greene King IPA on wicket. The Brakspear was good. Murphy's was on plastic tap. Very cheap good-value food - nothing more than £5.50, such as sausage and mash with cabbage and gravy, roast cold meats, and the meat sarnies are £3. It's not haute cuisine, but it's very decent fodder for the price. Not a massive pub, split into two areas (bar and a further seating area at the back), with wood and leatherette benches, gold lighting fittings, lots of horse racing paintings and pictures on the wall. Toilets ok for London. Eclectic jukebox including lots of old blues, plus virtually everything else, but it's not too intrusive. Also a TV for sports, but also not so as you'd notice unless you looked for it. Mixed crowd of youngsters on the razzle, suits, old boys and workers. Well worth an evening. mafting - 5 Dec 2008 01:26 |
| The people who are 'dissapointed' dont know a London pub of the old school when they're in it! Beers and spirits, horses on the telly, real bread sandwiches, made from the 'real food' you can see in the cooler and bread cut in front of you, and great pies made there holding warm and tempting you to eat. Made and served by a redoutable looking lady of the pub old school. A good mixed crowd as the bar leaners and chatters - of the Irish variety so a bit of banter with whoevers ready to say hi. Think Terry and Arfur (Minder) - theyd be at home in here, dontcha think? A swift one for me last week, but a pleasure. Good looking barmaid too! Rating 10. gonetolunch - 15 Nov 2008 20:33 |
