The menus on their website look pretty good - though note the comment below about the website possibly being very out of date - a number of fish dishes as well as five kinds of sausage (including pheasant!). It sounds like the pies are of the "stew in a china dish with a piece of puff pastry floating on top" kind, though. Vegetarians look to be relatively poorly served, with a choice of veggie burger, veggie sausages, or veggie faux pie, although [http://www.thedanieldefoe.com/reviews.htm a review] suggests that the daily specials may make up for this. Food is served 4pm-9:30pm Mon-Fri and noon-7:30pm Sat-Sun. |

There seems to have been a change of management some time in 2007. As of January 2008, they had a pretty good range of ales (usually about four on the hand pumps; one example is Tribute) and draft lagers including Kirin and Red Stripe. [[Katie]] noticed some single malts behind the bar but can't remember exactly what they were. They sell scampi fries and bacon fries. Two pints and a couple of bags of crisps/scampi fries were about £7. |
The [http://www.timeout.com/london/bars/reviews/7739.html Time Out review] suggests that the beer garden is rather small. However, checking with the pub via email reveals that (as of July 2007) it's being redesigned to include a canopied smoking area. |

The clientele was mainly youngish trendy Stokeyites, not as filled with kiddies as other pubs in the area, and it didn't seem to be as busy on a weekday evening as, say, the Three Crowns further up Church Street. |
An anonymous visitor (January 2008) states that "the above" is now out of date any chance of some specifics, Anonymous? (The Daniel Defoe website looks to have pretty much the exact same infomation on it as it did when I last looked, so no clues there. A couple of BITE comments from the second half of 2007 mention a new menu, but again, the website is no help.) |

Menu was <i>very</i> much of the gourmet burger/monkfish and parma ham/asparagus risotto variety, with mains costing about £8-9 on average. Four (I think) vegetarian choices, all pretty heavy on the cheese and eggs, so not very vegan-friendly. (Food serving times as of July 2007 were 4pm-9:30pm Mon-Fri and noon-7:30pm Sat-Sun; not sure if this predates or postdates the management change --[[Kake]].) According to an anonymous commenter as of January 2011, quiz night is Monday at 8pm. They have a beer garden with a canopied smoking area (confirmed by email, July 2007). |
