Comment added by Kake: Spitfire 3.20/pint. Lack of wifi confirmed by bar staff. Not too crowded - raised area at back empty apart from me.

Shepherd Neame pub in Covent Garden, in the Good Beer Guide.

A pint of Late Red and one of Spitfire came to £6.15, and a pint of Master Brew was £2.70.

Food served all day until 8:45pm. It's fairly standard pub food; burgers are £5.50-6.25, sandwiches and hot sandwiches are £2.75-3.50 (e.g. chip buttie; brie, bacon, and walnut; coronation chicken), chips are £1.75, nachos are £3.75, and mains are £6-8 (e.g. steak and kidney pudding; gammon, egg, and chips; lasagne). Vegetarian options are almost entirely absent. View photo of menu as of October 2007.

Kake first popped in here around 4pm on a Saturday afternoon and it was packed so I didn't stay. I suppose this isn't really surprising given that it's within the tourist zone. It may also have had something to do with sport; they have at least four flatscreens.

It was pretty much empty on our second visit, on a rainy Monday afternoon. The flatscreens were showing sport but the sound was off, and instead there was piped music, sort of R&Bish, not too loud.

Note that they may close early on a Sunday; they may be open into the evening and they may not - it totally depends on whether they have more than a couple of people in.
