[[Kake]] first visited on a Sunday afternoon in May 2009. The real ales available were Brakspears Bitter, London Pride, and Davenport Bee-Zone (£1.60/half). Blackboards outside and behind the bar advertised other ales coming soon (Golden Hare, Everards Sundance, Hopback Crop Circle). When I arrived a little before 5pm there were just a couple of other customers in. Music was playing; when I arrived it was relatively quiet and sounded sort of Portishead-like. It got more bizarre, and louder, while I was there. |
[[secretlondon]] visited on a Friday evening in May 2009. We'd booked the upstairs function room which was plain — but included the roof terrace which was nice. They had three real ales on; Brakspears, London Pride, and another. |

[[Kake]], [[bob]], [[Martin]], [[Northern Steve]], and Phil tried the Mongolian food on a Thursday evening visit in June 2009. [[Kake]] felt that the best of the dishes we tried was the fried beef pancakes (£5) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/3607003899/in/set-72157619357429799/ photo]</small>; a little greasy, but plenty of flavour. [[Martin]] was also very pleased with these. Steamed beef dumplings (£5) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/3607850036/in/set-72157619357429799/ photo]</small> were promising, but unfortunately some of them were very dried out on the top, possibly due to being left uncovered for too long before cooking. Special cooked tea with pelmeni (£5.50) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/3607833826/in/set-72157619357429799/ photo]</small> turned out to be a kind of milky soup containing white rice and beef dumplings (pelmeni). The soup/tea had a pleasingly subtle flavour. The dumplings were a little hard to eat, since they were too big to eat in one bite, and as they were floating in the soup it was quite difficult to cut pieces off with a spoon. Perhaps there's some special technique to it. [[bob]] thought the beef noodles (£5) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/3607007665/in/set-72157619357429799/ photo]</small> were really good, and the noodles probably home-made. |

There's a bookable function room upstairs; it's quite plain but includes the roof terrace, which is nice. |

Small pub with real ale and Mongolian food near Guy's Hospital and London Bridge Station. The decor inside is heavily focused on bare wood, and the interior is broken up by wooden screens with glass panes. There's a dartboard to the right of the bar.

Accessibility: Small step (more of a ridge) to get in. Step-free to the bar, at least some of the seating area, and the ladies' toilets, but didn't check the gents'.
