Pub in Soho, serves real ale, real cider, Belgian beer, and good food.
The downstairs is full of smokers and TV sport; the good bit is upstairs in the non-smoking lounge, which has sofas, cushions, and even a standard lamp and recliner chair.
The day we visited (May 2007), the available beers included Broadside, Crop Circle, Greene King IPA, Belle-Vue Kriek, and some form of Frambozen. They also had Addlestones cider. On the non-alcohol side, they offer acai (doop, can you expand on this a bit?). Timothy Taylor Landlord has also been spotted in the past, but was off that day.
Varied and interesting-looking food menu, including plenty of vegetarian options (such as butternut squash and sage risotto, £6.90) and some that looked potentially vegan. Kake tried one of the "light bites" — smoked trout served with horseradish cream and buttered brown bread (£4.90). It was good, and not an insubstantial portion. Sandwiches are also on offer, costing £4.60–£4.90; worthy of note is the fish finger ciabatta sandwich. Burgers are £7–8. Platters and sharing dishes feature things like olives, hummous, and baba ganoush. They do a selection of desserts, all at £3.50, and a cheese board at £5.50.
Food is served noon–10pm.
