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. |

Food is served all day, 10:30am-10pm Mon-Sat and noon-9:30pm Sun; though afternoon food is limited to what they describe slightly misleadingly as "bar bites", but which is 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. |

Food is served all day, though afternoon food is limited to what they describe slightly misleadingly as "bar bites", but which is actually a choice between "loaded potato skins" (with, I think, cheese and bacon) and filled rolls (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.

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. When I arrived, a little after 4pm, the place was empty apart from two people sitting outside in the tiny smoking area (a strip alongside the pub; I don't think it's covered). Comment added by Kake: I was brought salt and pepper (both in proper grinders) as well as ketchup and mayonnaise for my chips, but no vinegar. Piped music is playing, sort of pop/jazz, but fairly quietly. |

Accessibility: One shallow step up to get in, and level access to the bar and the front seating area, but the sofa/banquette area and the toilets are down a couple of steps.
