Randomness Guide to London Menu

A pub just off Manchester Square in Marylebone, behind Selfridge's.

Outside the pub, which has a small and unprepossessing entrance at the corner of a red-brick block, is a small area for smokers with railings and boards for resting glasses on. Inside, the place stretches back fairly far into the building, dominated by wood panelling and pictures of various nobles.

Even at 6pm on a weekday, there's no trouble finding a table. The place briefly becomes noisy with people before settling back to a more relaxed buzz around 7pm. Seems to be dominated by office workers and a few stray shoppers from Oxford Street.

There are four handpumps at the bar, three of which seem to be in use, with Adnam's Bitter (which was off on our visit in September 2008), Young's Special (£3.35/pint) and Greene King IPA. Other draught taps dispense the usual range of lagers. They also have a laminated wine list sitting on the bar, and copies at each table.

No sign of food on our visit.
