Randomness Guide to London Menu

Small, rather posh and expensive not-really-a-pub in Farringdon. As of March 2007, Adnams Broadside was £3.20 a pint! It also took ages for Kake to actually get served because the staff member taking my order kept getting distracted. That part was really quite odd; it almost felt like he was just playing at being behind the bar.

They do food, plus there's an actual restaurant downstairs.

It's not really the sort of place where you spend the evening; more a meeting point before you move on somewhere else (downstairs, or somewhere else nearby, or one of the other places in the Bleeding Heart group, a little further down the yard). But as a meeting point, it does the job.

Strange for having tables against the bar. The beer was pretty good. -- bob

Leon went with friends at 8am for breakfast. The Full English was actually quite good, but the service was terrible - they would always do something else before helping us. The food took half an hour to arrive, which is spectacularly slow for breakfast. It came to ten pounds per head. We did not leave service.

Penfold agrees with Leon. Tea also weak and insipid, sadly. Breakfast better and pricier than a greasy spoon :)
