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.

Last visited 22 October 2007 by Kake and Bob. Food and beer prices determined on that visit. Food times and opening times confirmed by telephone, October 2007.

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.

Comment added by DrHyde: there are TVs. They make annoying noises.
