Randomness Guide to London Menu

Pub just a little to the south of Piccadilly.

It's quite small inside, dimly lit and cosy. The decor is all dark wood and burgundy upholstery - even the ceiling is burgundy. It has a fairly traditional feel, making the large flatscreen perched in a corner look somewhat incongruous (though it was switched off on the visit described below). There are a couple of small benches outside on the street, though no tables.

Kake visited on a Thursday afternoon in July 2008. Beers available were Adnams Bitter (£1.55/half), Deuchars, and Courage Directors. Nobby's Nuts were 80p. There were a fair few other customers, even at 4pm; a mix of small groups and people on their own reading the paper.

I heard another customer inquire about food - no proper food in the afternoon, but toasted sandwiches (listed on a blackboard; all around £4) and baguettes (also all around £4) were available. A blackboard outside listed what I assume were specials - hot pork baguette with apple sauce and chips (£4.25), salt beef baguette with chips (£5.25), sweet and sour chicken, and lamb madras (the latter two both served with rice and naan bread, and both £6).

Accessibility: Step up to get in; bar and seating area on one level, but toilets downstairs. Also not a huge amount of room to manoeuvre.
