[[Kake]] visited on a Monday early evening in September 2008. Their four handpumps had Broadside, Bombardier (£3.05/pint), Young's Bitter (£2.75/pint), and London Pride. According to the 2009 Good Beer Guide, the Pride is their regular beer and the others are guests. I had the Young's, and it was fine, though if I were being picky I'd say the pint I'd just had in the [[Britannia, W8 6UX|Britannia]] was very slightly better. For the gin-drinkers, I saw a small board advertising Bombay Sapphire with Fentimans tonic for £4.50. |

When I asked for a glass of tap water, I was pointed at the jug of iced tap water and array of glasses that had been left on the side of the bar for people to help themselves. |

It was nice and peaceful when I arrived around 5:15pm, with just a couple of other customers and some (vocal) jazz playing in the background, but by 6pm it had started to fill up, though there were still plenty of tables free. There's a flatscreen TV, which was showing the Paralympics during my visit but with the sound off except for a couple of minutes while the barstaff were fiddling with it. |

I heard the barman tell someone that the restaurant menu would start at 6pm, but they also have a bar menu which is served all day. A board on the wall gave the bar menu times as noon-10pm Mon-Sat and noon-9:30pm Sun. The bar menu doesn't just have snacks on it - it's a full menu ranging from starters/small food (e.g. soup of the day with ciabatta, £4.50) up to pie (beef and Bombardier, £11). There's a patio out the front, with several tables covered with large umbrellas; according to the 2009 Good Beer Guide this patio is heated.

Comment added by Kake: It does indeed have four handpumps, which today feature Broadside, Bombardier, Pride, and Young's Bitter. The Young's is 2.75/pint and is fine, though if I were being picky I'd say the pint I just had in the Britannia was very slightly better. They have a jug of iced tap water and some glasses on the bar, which is a nice touch. It was nice and peaceful when I arrived around 5:15pm, with just some (vocal) jazz playing in the background, but 5 minutes later the staff put some sporting event (wheelchair basketball) on the flatscreen to compete with the music. Oh, she's just turned the sound off on the TV. |
