Food is served at lunchtimes; a main course costs between £5.25 (tagliatelli with roasted Mediterranean vegetables in a creamy tomato sauce) and £9 (Thai prawns with saffron rice and salad). They also do filled jacket potatoes (£4.25-£5) and hot sandwiches. When I phoned up in July 2007 they told me weekday lunchtimes only, 11am-3pm, but I was there around 4pm on a Friday and the menus were still out on the tables, so there may be some flexibility.

Rather nice traditional locals' pub on the Isle of Dogs.

Separate saloon bar and public bar; something of a rarity these days. The saloon bar is small and cosy (didn't go in the public bar so don't know what it's like). They have a few tables and chairs out on the pavement that are well-patronised by smokers in good weather. There's also a sunny conservatory off the saloon bar, with dragon trees and white-painted patio-style decorative metal chairs and tables.

Kake visited on a Friday afternoon and sat in the saloon bar; there were several locals already in there, having nice civilised conversations over a pint. One of them even had a little chat with me while his friend was in the gents'. Service was friendly too. I had a half of Ruddles Best, which cost £1.34 (I think) and came in a rather nice little stemmed glass. Horseracing was being shown on a flatscreen at one end, but the sound was off. Music was unobtrusive and not uninteresting: K T Tunstall, Oasis, etc.

Accessibility: the whole pub is on one level, but I forgot to check whether there are steps up to get in.
