Really good friendly atmosphere. Beer continues to impress. A choice of Hophead, Betty Stoggs or Wallops wood. All in excellent condition.
The opening hours are changing at the end of the month, the pub will open at 4.00pm and close at 10.00 pm. No lunchtime drinking.

New chef has arrived, so food may improve. Still a limited range of beers that changes quite frequently, would be nice to see some beers that are available permanently. At present, you do not know what will be available until you arrive and you can sometimes be disappointed with the choices available.The quality of the beers is very good and the atmosphere is quite friendly

Fullers have spoilt this pub. Probably the most expensive in the area, if it isnt, it will be beaten by another Fullers pub.

An excellent "watering hole". Good beer, good food, pleasant atmosphere. I dont understand the criticism, especially that from the previous landlady who resides locally and comments below.

New people running the pub now. Much improved atmosphere. As mentioned in another comment " no fat bloke".
Range of beers still limited but quality is good. Staff are helpful and friendly.

I would like to reply to the comments of James Brush.
The GPG states ( and I quote) 'a fine range of nine real ales.' Please note no 'up to'.
I also see no comment on the food available, the entry in the GPG is erroneous and misleading.
The comment about the staff -- I believe 2 of the present staff were there when AL was in charge. Two from about 7/8 constsiutes big changes in my language.
How is the truth rubbish ?

In my last comment I included a reference to The good Beer Guide.This was the wrong publication. The correct publication is the Good Pub Guide. The other comments still hold true.

This public house continues to decline. Choice of beers has reduced greatly. According to the GBG 2009, 9 beers available, this isnt true, in the week sometimes 3/4 and at weekends 6. The food available has also changed from the menu advertised in the GBG 2009. The description in the guide is erroneous and based on details that applied some 12 months ago when there were big staff changes.

The Jerusalem Tavern, Clerkenwell
I cant believe some of the comments. This pub fully deserves its award of " town pub of the year " ( GBG 2009). The beer was superb, atmosphere good, staff friendly. Okay it is a little on the small side , so if you want a seat dont go there at peak times.

Refurbished early this year and much improved. New owners, Sylvia & Paul have created a very pleasant, easy going atmosphere. Four regular ales inc. 'Speckled Hen' and Bowman's 'Swift One'. Beers always of excellent quality. A good range of snacks available. The pub is shut on Thursdays. Well worth the time spent trying to find this pub.

Much changed over the last 3 years since Al Stringer left. The atmosphere is not the same. The pub is not as busy and the range of beers available is sometimes dissappointing. The quality is OK but many of the former favourites are not regularly available. Abig pity.

Went in to watch football. Excellent beer - Hopback - Summer Lightning. Very good food. Good atmosphere with a good mixed clientele. An excellent pub to have a pint( or two), a meal and to watch your favourite team.

The Hawkley Inn, Hawkley
This pub has gone through a difficult few years since Al left. Another new manager has arrived, I hope he has better success than previous ones, first impressions are promising. The range of beers is good and the food has improved tremendously, most comments iI have heard are very favourable indeed. Lets hope the improvements continue and the Hawkley regains its former popularity. One last comment , I thought pubs were for adult drinkers and diners not for local school musical evenings with loads of strange kids and parents. This is what I experienced on a recent weekend evening.
