Randomness Guide to London Menu

Pub in Soho, serves real ale, real cider, Belgian beer, and good food.

The downstairs has an open-plan bit plus a few tables in a little hidey-away bit to the side of the bar. There's also a non-smoking lounge upstairs with sofas, cushions, and even a standard lamp and recliner chair. There's a bar in the upstairs lounge, but it's not always staffed.

Beers that we've seen on here include Adnams Broadside, Crop Circle, Timothy Taylor Landlord, Greene King IPA, Belle-Vue Kriek, and some form of Frambozen (not all of these are on all the time). We've also seen Addlestones and Weston's (either Vintage or Organic, can't remember) cider. On the non-alcohol side, they offer acai berry juice and blueberry juice.

Varied and interesting-looking food menu, including plenty of vegetarian options (such as butternut squash and sage risotto, £6.90, or home-made macaroni cheese, £6.50) and some that looked potentially vegan.

"Light bites" might include smoked trout served with horseradish cream and buttered brown bread (£4.90, rather good, and not an insubstantial portion). Sandwiches are also on offer, costing around £5–£6; worthy of note is the fish finger ciabatta sandwich. Burgers are £7–£8, including the (vegetarian) falafel burger with stilton and mixed peppers.

Platters and sharing dishes (only served after 5pm) feature things like olives, hummous, baba ganoush, pitta bread, falafel, etc.

They do a selection of desserts, all at £3.50, and we've also previously spotted a cheese board at £5.50, though it wasn't present on the June menu.

(Note that the menu does change, so the above-mentioned dishes may not be available on your visit; we were sad to see on our latest visit that the fishfinger sandwiches had vanished since the previous month.)

Food is served noon–10pm.
