This is a must-visit location for fans of real ale. [[Bob]] describes the beer as "very drinkable" - high praise indeed. They have eight handpumps, and even their own house beer, Edgar's Pale Ale (it's basically Nethergate IPA with extra hops). They're also very keen on guest ales. |

Beers available on our March 2008 visit were Adnams Bitter (£2.85), Edgar's Pale Ale (£2.85), Nelson Trafalgar (£3.05), Wooden Hand Cornish Mutiny (£3.15), Mauldons Moletrap (£2.90), Shepherd Neame Masterbrew (£2.95), Wooden Hand Black Pearl (£3.10), and Salopian Abbey Gates (£3.05). Three of these ran out during the evening and were promptly replaced by three others whose names we failed to note down. One nice touch is that the pump clips of the next beers in line are displayed on the wall next to the handpumps. |
A blackboard seen outside in October 2007 said that food is served noon-9:30pm Mon-Fri, but a menu seen on the same visit said that breakfast is available from 11am (and served all day). Food is provided by some weird kind of franchising thing, via http://www.apcateringltd.com/ - interesting concept. |

Food is provided by [http://www.apcateringltd.com/ AP Catering], a franchised catering business, and is pretty good. [[Kake]] tried the chicken schnitzel with herb mash, chunky tomato salsa, and creamy mushroom sauce (£8); it was good, with tender chicken and a good flavour to all the components - and a very nice twist on generic pub food. |
Toilets are upstairs, and there's another (bookable) room up there too. The function room can seat 30 comfortably, and has a limit of 45 people due to fire regulations. |

<div class="getting_here"><b>Getting here:</b> Come out of [[Temple Station]], turn to your left and go up the steps, cross over the crossing and turn right. At the end of the road there's a little lane going off to your left, marked off with bollards. Go along here, and up the steps at the end. This is Essex Street; the Edgar Wallace is just a little way up on the right, on the corner of Devereux Court.</div> |
