There are small rooms on either side of the bar area, with four or five tables and wooden benches. There's also a shelf area on the wall nearest the doors and some high stools. Plenty of odds and ends decorate the place, including photos of the landlady over the years. Sadly the pub cat, Tom Paine, [http://www.thelastditch.org/lastditch/2011/10/tom-paine-is-no-more.html is no longer in residence]. |

Good Beer Guide pub just off Fleet Street and Chancery Lane, in Holborn.
Inside, it's very small, more apparent perhaps during weekday evenings, when the place becomes crowded with those working in nearby law firms and the Royal Courts of Justice across the road. Even on the Saturday early-evening when Ewan visited, the rooms inside were largely full.

Ewan's verdict: This is a friendly pub, rather like being in someone's home (and indeed, when you go upstairs to use the toilets, it very much is). Beers are well-chosen and well-kept, and the place abounds in character.
Accessibility: Toilets are up some incredibly narrow and winding stairs behind the bar.
