| [[Category Young's|Young's]] pub not far north of [[Moorgate Station]]. It was previously known as the Master Gunner (see <a href="http://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?id=Finch%27s%2C_EC2A_1AN&version=18">earlier version of this page</a> for more details), but was refurbished and renamed to Finch's in 2014. Today, the pub stretches back a fair way from the street entrance, with the bar along one wall and the rest of the space broken up by pillars and glass-and-metal room dividers. The floor is wooden throughout, and exposed brickwork adds interest. It opens out a bit more towards the back, where large windows let in the natural light that's mostly absent in the other areas of the pub. A square of flooring here is painted in an abstract design which alongside the windows, room dividers, and distressed hoop-backed wooden chairs gives it almost the feel of a summerhouse. In the basement is a bookable function room known as Henry's Den. [[Kake]] visited on a Tuesday morning in September 2017. There were just a couple of other customers when I arrived around 9:15am. Music was playing, not too loud. Three of the five handpumps were clipped for Young's Bitter, Young's London Gold, and Belleville Calif-Oregon Amber, with Young's Special and Southwark LPA marked as coming soon. From the breakfast menu, I chose the kale, spinach, and chilli pancakes with bacon and poached eggs (£9.50) <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/36893057592/ photo]</small>. The pancakes had a undercooked, gluey texture, and the promised chilli seemed to be entirely absent. The eggs had properly runny yolks, but unfortunately also a rather too high proportion of completely uncooked white. The bacon and watercress were fine. A pot of English breakfast tea arrived weak as requested, with a bite-size piece of chocolate brownie on the edge of the saucer. Child-friendliness: There's a pull-down nappy change table in the accessible toilet Accessibility: A ramp to get in, then step-free to bar and seating (the dais that was here in its previous incarnation has been removed). There's a RADAR-locked accessible toilet on the level, with low sink and hand dryer but no grab rails or alarm cord.

Decent enough Young's pub near Moorgate. Relatively crowded early on a Friday evening. The sausage platter is okay. The beer was drinkable. Had Special, Ordinary and Bombardier on tap. |
