The Cock and Lion, Bond Street

We had a good session here for the NUFC/Liverpool game (best forgotten) but found the atmosphere good and the new, initially ferocious but quickly softened Croatian landlady (Mida) and her husband (nice, quiet guy) good fun and very welcoming.

There was a good range of beers - Black Sheep, Spitfire, London Pride, John Smiths - and various lagers at reasonable prices. food was also on the go and looked nice, though we only had some chips.

I was really there for the football, though, and while the downstairs was quite snug, albeit with several screens showing the match, upstairs was much more roomy, with a small bar, big screen telly and plenty of seats.

Think this will be our new Toon pub from now on.
