It's quite cosy inside - exposed floorboards, lots of dark wood, chandelier-style lighting, burgundy paint, etc - not in a gastropub way though. In the daytime there's a reasonable amount of natural light; on [[Kake]]'s October 2008 visit it was a bit dimmer once it was dusk outside, since they didn't turn the lighting up to compensate, but it was still just about possible to read a book. |
[[Palfrey]] and friends visited on a Wednesday evening in September 2008. There was a good range of beers on tap, including three different wheat beers (Erdinger, Schneider Weisse, and another one with apple flavouring added that I haven't had before). Cost was about £3-something per pint, can't remember precisely, but seemed reasonable for the choices and area. |

Cost was about £3-something per pint, can't remember precisely, but seemed reasonable for the choices and area. They also have real ale on handpumps - on [[Kake]]'s October 2008 visit the choices were London Pride (£2.80/pint) and Deuchars IPA, and other interesting options were Aspalls cider on tap and Liefmanns kriek in bottles in the fridge. |
Service was helpful and rapid, up until about 30-40 people apparently from a local conference descended on the pub a bit later and then it got somewhat insane. Given the proximity to Imperial College, this may not be an uncommon experience. Reports from others (work colleagues) back this up, but also that their experiences of the pub is generally very good otherwise. |

Food is served until 9pm. I had one of their burgers (with bacon and cheese, side of chips), definitely recommended, was ~7 quid I think. |

Comment added by Kake: Pride 2.80, Deuchars IPA also on, Landlord clip turned round. Aspalls cider, Applebocq wheat beer on tap among others. Liefmanns kriek in bottles in fridge. Comment added by Kake: It's quite cosy inside - exposed floorboards, lots of dark wood, burgundy paint, etc - not in a gastropub way though. There's a step up to get in but there's also an accessible toilet. Comment added by Kake: Chandelier-style lighting. The lighting is quite dim now it's dusk, but it's still just about possible to read a book. Reasonable amount of natural light earlier. |
