Randomness Guide to London Menu

A pub very close to Southwark Station, done up in a retro trendy way. Recently changed management; the new landlord is very chatty. London Pride was on at £2.60 ish. The landlord gave me a taster first. It was certainly drinkable. Strongbow is £3/pint as of December 2007.

Does food lunchtimes and evenings. Possibly a constantly changing menu. Rib-eye steak was £9.95, burger was £7. They do Sunday roasts from noon to 5pm; on Kake's December 2007 visit there was a choice of chicken, beef, or nut roast. The nut roast was quite tasty.

The front part of the pub has a couple of long bench/table things while the back has smaller 2-4 person tables which are (at least some of the time) set for dining.

There is possibly free wireless. They put on a poker night on Mondays (£10 to buy in).

Comment added by Bar Hopper: This place has changed beyond all recognition - out with the beige and in with red walls, flowers, candles, great street art (so i'm told) and some seriously good food. I had the chicken, leek & mushroom pie and my significant other went for the pork fillets in a cream & peppercorn sauce. The staff were really friendly at the bar and in the restaurant & the bar crowd seemed to be a really nice mix of after work types and assorted drunk trendies... i'll be back soon.

Comment added by Bec: I visited 7th August 2007 and instantly fell in love with the kind, chatty bar staff. A half pint of lime and soda was 40p and a small glass of very tasty house red was £3.00. Also, the sandwich board had a picture of Prince, His Royal Purpleness, under the Lord Nelson sign. Hooray!

Comment added by Ewan: Visited 24 Aug 2007 (and again 24 Sep 2007). The duty manager was very chatty, the food was excellent (I had vegetarian pie), and the ales were Black Sheep Bitter and Pride. House wine was a very quaffable Concha y Toro merlot. Pint of lime & soda was £1. Gets busy on a Friday night, so you'll need to be in early to secure an outdoor table.

Comment added by Bec: I found the portions massive. I had a [veggie sausage baguette (£6.50)] with came with salad and a big portion of chunky chips. Vegetarian lasagne (£7.50) came with some lovely looking bread, however contains mushrooms so not for me.

There are two bike stands right outside the pub, very handy!
