This old corner pub is pleasingly untouched by Young's trend for refurbishing, aside from having bare wood floors. It's a small corner site, with some tables opposite the bar and larger ones hidden by some pillars towards the back. There are tables outside on the street, and there's an upstairs room as well. On our Friday visit in August 2012 it was busy without being overcrowded. |

There are four handpulls at the bar, with Young's Bitter and Special and Caledonian Deuchars IPA in August 2012. [[Ewan]] felt the Young's was well-kept, and good value for the area. |

According to Young's website as of September 2012, food is served noon-2:30pm and 6-9pm Monday to Friday, with toasted sandwiches available at all other times (around £3 as of August 2012). The food is standard pub grub. |
It also does bog-standard pub grub. Food is served noon-2:30pm and 6-9pm Monday to Friday. At all other times, toasted sandwiches are available (around £3). The steak and mushroom pie [[bob]] had was satisfactory (£5.50 as of March 2007); Dean's cod looked a little disappointing but he was happy enough. On [[Ewan]]'s August 2012 visit, prices weren't much higher and the menu was still pleasingly unfancy, with a £5 fish and chips special listed on a chalk board. [[Ewan]]'s half grilled chicken (£8) was well-cooked and tasty, while [[Kerry]]'s cheeseburger got a thumbs-up. |

Young's pub in Clerkenwell, in the Good Beer Guide.
This old corner pub is pleasingly untouched by Young's trend for refurbishing, aside from having bare wood floors. It's a small corner site, with some tables opposite the bar and larger ones hidden by some pillars towards the back. There are tables outside on the street, and there's an upstairs room as well, and on a Friday was busy without being overcrowded.
There are four handpulls at the bar, with Young's Bitter and Special and Caledonian Deuchars IPA on Ewan's visit. However, the Young's is well-kept and good value for the area.
It also does bog-standard pub grub. Food is served noon-2:30pm and 6-9pm Monday to Friday. At all other times, toasted sandwiches are available (around £3). The steak and mushroom pie bob had was satisfactory (£5.50 as of March 2007); Dean's cod looked a little disappointing but he was happy enough. On Ewan's August 2012 visit, prices weren't much higher and the menu was still pleasingly unfancy, with a £5 fish and chips special listed on a chalk board. Ewan's half grilled chicken (£8) was well-cooked and tasty, while Kerry's cheeseburger got a thumbs-up.
Ewan's verdict: This is a good, unpretentious local pub serving well-kept ale and decent food. Service is friendly and attentive, and I'd happily return if in the area.
