On tap are a number of ales, with a regularly changing rotation (it's a real ale favourite for the area). In June 2009, these were London Pride, Spitfire, Brakspear Bitter and Harviestoun Bitter & Twisted, though Deuchars IPA has also been available in the past. Upcoming ales are listed on a chalkboard behind the bar. The pub also has Hoegaarden and Leffe as well as other premium (and cooking) lagers on tap. |

Stone-baked pizzas are cooked to order <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/55935853@N00/3660447431/sizes/l/ photo of menu in June 2009]</small>. Food is served 12:30pm-2:30pm Tuesday to Friday and 6:30pm-10:30pm Monday to Friday, 12:30pm-10:30pm Saturday, and 12:30pm-9pm Sunday. The pizzas are absolutely lovely, made on the premises, with big crispy crusts and tasty ingredients (most are about £8). The fiorentina is as tasty as any, and the menu asks you to specify how you want the egg in the middle cooked, which is a nice touch <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/55935853@N00/3661249114/ photo]</small>. Staff offer chilli oil and pepper as a matter of course. [[Ewan]] can highly recommend the pizzas. There's a couple of desserts as well, and [[Ewan]]'s warm nutty chocolate brownie served with a scoop of icecream (£4) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/55935853@N00/3661250742/ photo]</small> was tasty and not too heavy. |
