Red Herring, Bank

Like rpadam, I found this pub to be greatly improved with no loud music, plenty of seating. Most importantly, the range of ales was outstanding for a city pub and all were well kept. We did not eat today but the food looked very good.

The Butcher's Hook and Cleaver, Smithfield

A good selection of beers in reasonable condition served by fast and polite staff. The food was all fine but the chips that came with the burger were possibly the best that I have ever had. And I have had a lot.

The Golden Fleece, Bank

In an update to my previous posting, this pub seems to have gone downhill over the last few weeks. When we arrived, we waited far too long to be served, considering that the pub was almost empty. The beer was up to its usual standard, but when the food arrived, one meal (mine) was missing. It appeared a good ten minutes after everyone else had finished, at which point the waiter was given an alternative serving suggestion. Admittedly, the price of the meal was refunded without quibble and the staff were very attentive from that point on. There have been a few instances lately where the food has not been up to scratch, late or wrong. In short, the beer is still good but eat somewhere else.
