Note: According to the Dec 2014 <i>London Drinker</i>, the Britannia was refurbished in 2014; we haven't visited since, so some details below may be out of date. |

It's quite posh inside, with a variety of seating including upholstered banquettes with scatter cushions and backs probably high enough to please even [[bob]]; plus at least one deep leather sofa, and upright chairs and tables as well. There's also a separate dining area, set out with wine glasses and cutlery, at the back past the sofa area, and a thin strip of outside seating sandwiched between the pub and the building next door. |

[[Kake]] visited on a Monday afternoon in September 2008. Only one of their two handpumps was in operation, serving Young's Bitter at £3.10/pint. They also had Staropramen, Leffe, and Peroni on tap, among other things. |

When I arrived, a little after 4pm, the place was empty apart from two people sitting outside in the smoking area. Piped music was playing, sort of pop/jazz, but fairly quietly. |

On my September 2008 visit they also served food in the afternoon, described slightly misleadingly as "bar bites", but actually a choice between cheese-and-bacon-stuffed potato skins (£6) and filled rolls (£7, served with salad and chips). I went for the latter, choosing cheddar and onion from among the four options on offer. The roll was a pretty nice one with a thick chewy crust (in a good way), the cheese was grated, and the onion was red and thinly sliced. The salad consisted of varied mixed leaves with a decent dressing. The chips were more like potato wedges, and came skin-on. I think they were probably prepared earlier and reheated in the microwave, but they didn't suffer much. This ensemble was served slightly absurdly on a small, thick, square chopping board. I was brought salt and pepper (both in proper grinders) as well as ketchup and mayonnaise for my chips, but no vinegar. |
