I didn’t see any of the problems listed by others on the site and quite enjoyed my visit to this pub. The selection of beers to try was excellent and the barman who served us was friendly and chatty. He also had an excellent moustache. It was obvious that the décor had been updated but it did look good and the seats were comfy. Recommended but it would seem that it is not to everyone’s taste.

Fairs fair. I'm not a fan of Castle Inn's, service usually annoys me too much. But had a late lunch here today and it was really good. Lamb Shank Shepard's pie and my friend had a Ploughman's. Very impressed, taste, presentation, everything, not quite Lukin, Conway St. standard, but as close as you're going to get. Can't quite believe I'm praising this place but as I said fairs fair. Well done.

Terrific location, nice airy building, great range of ales and lagers, good food (Battered Black Pudding was delicious, trust me it's a lot better than it sounds!), plenty of standing room for a pint outside on the pavement on a summer's evening and price wise, just above average for the area. All in all, should be world-class, but is strangely lacking in atmosphere and does seem to attract a high number of slightly too self-satisfied drinkers and staff. Worth checking out if you are in the area though as the beer is good.

My advice, avoid this place like plague. They consistently seem to sell short measures on every pint as many others have noticed. Challenge this and and you will either be totally ignored or given lip by the chip shouldered staff behind the bar. Your crime? Simply requesting what you paid for.

Furthermore, they are incompetent at dealing with any more than about 4 people waiting at any given time. Nobody is ever served in the correct order and the staff are just incredibly slow. Far more concerned with either flirting with each other or preening themselves. Pathetic.

Myself and my colleagues have given up on this place and we’d advice you to do the same unless you enjoy the feeling of being ripped off.

Large airy London Pub-the sort with the u-shaped bar in a big square room. Good ale range: Pure UBU (warwickshire), Wandle (London), Sharps [St.Austell] Doom Bar and oddly a US style Pale Ale called Kipling. Wandle and UBU in fine form. Pints not full - couldnt be bothered to request top up as it was purposefully short on every pint i saw served...so its planned

Menu is good, burgers were exceptional but at £9.25 they ought to be. I got called 'buddy' in the bar area and 'hi guys' when food was served - which when delivered here means 'whatever i couldnt give a toss but will use 'fun' greetings to give the impression i do'. Frankly i didnt get eye contact fromany of the staff - almost felt i was privileged to be in their company which of course i was.

i did like the food and booze though
