| Small, single-room pub in [[Locale Fitzrovia|Fitzrovia]], in the Good Beer Guide. The decor is quite traditional; carpeted floor and a mix of banquette seating and stools (no actual chairs). There are portraits of kings and queens above the bar, and a display of king and queen playing cards at one end of the room. A few picnic benches outside (not covered or heated) cater for smokers. |
Pub in [[Locale Fitzrovia|Fitzrovia]]. Was in the 2007 Good Beer Guide but not the 2008 one. It regained its place in the 2009 Guide. |

[[Kake]] visited on a Tuesday afternoon in December 2008. The three handpumps had Adnams Bitter, Deuchars IPA, and St Austell Tribute (£1.60/half). There were a fair few people in, mostly younger people (quite possibly students, given the area). There was no music, and a flatscreen was showing a darts tournament with the sound off. A blackboard behind the bar advertised sandwiches - the manager told me they don't do food in the evenings so the sandwiches must be lunchtime only. |
An anonymous commenter in June 2008 notes that this pub has gone down hill since the Welsh manager left. It's grubby and the smell is just terrible. The beer is quite good but overpriced for the surroundings. The new manager, when questioned re the smell said he could not smell anything! No longer worth a visit. |

They have a function room upstairs, which as of December 2008 is free to hire as long as you make a donation to MacMillan (the charity supported by the pub), though if you want the bar up there to be staffed then that costs £50. As mentioned, there's no food in the evenings, but if you've booked the function room then they can put on a buffet or you can bring your own food. |
Unverified reports suggest that it had a minor refit in the second half of 2008, and that the offensive smell went along with the old carpet. |

Accessibility: Small step up to get in, another small step to get to the ladies' (which is quite small and a bit hard to actually get into). |
