My aunt used to manage this pub in the 50s, so took my parents there recently to see how the place had changed over the last 50 years. It's nice inside, and a welcome retreat from the mayhem of Whitehall on a weekend, but the single barmaid serving was slow, monosyllablic and rude. After waiting 15 minuets while she leisurely served just 2 other customers: "Do you have tea?" "No. "Do you have coffee?" "No". Is this any way to treat customers?

This is a pretty standard Central London pub, which isn’t a bad thing in my opinion.

The barmaid was very friendly and the selection of drinks available included Old Speckled Hen, Bombadier (which was very good), Adnams, Pride, Leffe, Hoegarden, Staropramen and a few bog standard lagers.

There are four small tables on the pavement outside the pub, but it obviously gets busy with pedestrians and vehicles being on Whitehall. Good for people watching though, if you are that way inclined.

The toilets were a disgrace with piss all over the floor interspersed with bog roll and green towel. Funnily enough the toilet door was propped open with a “CAUTION CLEANING IN PROGRESS” sign. One of the staff obviously has a sense of humour!

In my opinion, this is not a bad pub but there are better in the area.

Had a great visit in here the other night. 4 ales on (2 quite obscure sounding ones).
Friendly staff and a nice,unthreatening cosy atmosphere.

OK nothing special wee pub its not to busy for the are but, if I was in the area I would maybe pop in again but there are so many nice ale houses in this area with a far better atmosphere.

the food is very disappointing, the drinks are not kept well and the quiz machine still owes me money.

one redeeming feature; the two fellas who seem to run the place are very accommodating and very friendly. pity that the fundamentals are so lacking.
