Historical version 12 of Olde China Hand, EC1R 4RQ (view current version)

Used to be a pub serving dim sum; now closed and turned into [Old Gringo, EC1R 4RQ]?, a pub serving Mexican food.

The information below is retained for people who want to know what it used to be like.

Pub near Sadler's Wells in Clerkenwell with real ale and dim sum. Food served weekday lunchtimes and every evening except Saturday.

Bob visited one lunchtime in March 2007. The beer was relatively decent. They had Asahi on draft as well as the real ales. The dim sum was pretty good if not a little bit expensive compared to other places. Some of this is explained by the portions being made of four things instead of three and indeed by it not being the New World. I was quite full after having spent about £20.

Food is ordered at the bar. You fill in a form with the number of each dish you want and hand it to the bar staff.

The decor is quite sparse with funny wooden tables and chairs.
