Good Beer Guide pub near Aldwych. Note that they're closed weekend evenings.

They have eight handpumps and are very keen on guest ales - see photo of the October 2007 beer list.

A blackboard seen outside in October 2007 said that food is served noon-9:30pm Mon-Fri, but a menu seen on the same visit said that breakfast is available from 11am (and served all day). Food is provided by some weird kind of franchising thing, via http://www.apcateringltd.com/ - interesting concept.

Toilets are upstairs, and there's another (bookable) room up there too. The function room can seat 30 comfortably, and has a limit of 45 people due to fire regulations.

Comment added by bob: the beer was very drinkable.

Last visited by Kake, Bob, Billy, Adam, Martin, Nick, etc, 19 October 2007. Opening hours taken from the 2008 Good Beer Guide and updated from the Edgar Wallace website, October 2007. Function room numbers confirmed by telephone, October 2007.
