Young's pub in Bloomsbury. It's a very good pub, and so can get crowded in the evenings; not to the extent that you might have trouble getting in through the front door, but certainly to the extent that you might have to hover for a while before you get a seat.
Good food, though not cheap. Food is served noon-9pm Monday to Sunday. The burgers are particularly recommended; steak photo, lamb, chicken and vegetarian burgers are all £7.95. Mains go up from there to £9.50. There are also sandwiches from £5.50-6.50. Chips are £2.50, though you don't get a huge amount. They do go for quality over quantity.
Puddings on offer are sticky toffee pudding with custard (£3.25), orange and cranberry cake (£3.50), and jam roly poly with custard (£3.75). Kake found nothing at all wrong with her sticky toffee pudding, but is not a pudding connoisseur; anyone else got comments?
Pint of ordinary is £2.80. Apart from Young's Bitter, they also had Courage Directors Bitter, Bombardier and Deuchars IPA on a visit in March 2008.
Gents' loos are on the ground floor, but the ladies' is upstairs (staircase is wide, with a sturdy handrail). One interesting aspect of the ladies' is that the cubicle itself is in a separate room from the handbasin, which lives in the "powder room" across the hallway.
There's a small beer garden out the back and a function room upstairs which can be hired out.
