Randomness Guide to London - Differences between Version 15 and Version 1 of Newman Arms, W1T 1NG

Version 15 Version 1
== Line 2 == == Line 2 ==
It was taken over by Truman's in mid-2018; see <a href="https://london.randomness.org.uk/wiki.cgi?id=Newman_Arms%2C_W1T_1NG&version=12">older version of this page</a> for what it was like before.
The main pub room downstairs is friendly and cosy, with fake bookcase in one corner (as well as some actual books along the windowsill), stone slab floor, and a small seating area. There are only three small tables serving the banquette seating under the front windows, as well as some high stools along the side opposite the bar, so it's difficult to get a seat if you go when it's busy.

We've only made a very brief visit since the takeover, in September 2018 &#8212; there's no longer any accessible seating on the ground floor, which made it impossible and indeed undesirable for us to stay long enough to give it a proper assessment. However, we did note four real ales on handpull, all from Truman's: Lazarus, Runner, Bow Bells, and Scorcher.
On a Thursday evening after 6pm the place was completely packed both inside and outside, making it difficult to get to the bar. Even so, it doesn't seem too oppressive, and service remains friendly.

Accessibility: A step to get in. All the ground-floor seating is on high stools.
They have two handpulls, with London Pride (&pound;3/pint) and Black Sheep Bitter on a November 2008 visit. There are also the usual lagers, as well as Stowford Press cider.
== Line 8 ==
Upstairs there's a separate pie room, with an extensive range of pies on offer, including daily specials. However, [[Ewan]] hasn't sampled the food yet.

A long-standing but tiny pub in Fitzrovia with plenty of literary connections, like a lot of the pubs in this area.

The main pub room downstairs is friendly and cosy, with fake bookcase in one corner (as well as some actual books along the windowsill), stone slab floor, and a small seating area. There are only three small tables serving the banquette seating under the front windows, as well as some high stools along the side opposite the bar, so it's difficult to get a seat if you go when it's busy.

On a Thursday evening after 6pm the place was completely packed both inside and outside, making it difficult to get to the bar. Even so, it doesn't seem too oppressive, and service remains friendly.

They have two handpulls, with London Pride (£3/pint) and Black Sheep Bitter on a November 2008 visit. There are also the usual lagers, as well as Stowford Press cider.

Upstairs there's a separate pie room, with an extensive range of pies on offer, including daily specials. However, Ewan hasn't sampled the food yet.
