Comment added by pfig: i went back on 2007/09/20, and took some notes: * the music was very good and not too loud, unlike the previous week. it was mostly indie pop and electronica, quite a good selection of both. ymmv. * we had food, from + to +++++: - warm goat's cheese & pomegranate salad (+++) - game, port & plum pie (+++++) - chicken, ham & spinach pie (++++) - winter herb garden pie (v) (++++) the beer was grolsch (very good, but then again that's easy); discovery, which was a bit of a let down as it was plainly flat and too warm. the london pride and (bottled) london porter were excellent. i drank mostly bitburger drive, which i think is the best of the alcohol-free beer-like beverages, managing not to taste of chemicals but instead like a light lager. |

Fuller's Ale and Pie House near Liverpool Street Station, in the Good Beer Guide. Note that it's closed on weekends, like most City pubs.
Full Fuller's range including seasonals. London Pride £2.90/pint; Gales Seafarer (guest ale) £2.85/pint.
Food served until 9pm every day, according to the 2008 Good Beer Guide. The menu looks rather good. Only a few vegetarian choices, but they all look interesting. Sample prices: soup of the day £4; brie, grape, and celery sandwich £4.75; nachos £6; sausage and mash (veggie option available) £8.75; lemon chicken and courgette salad £9.25; steak and ESB pie £8.50. They also offer sharing plates for two (from 5pm-9pm), including a pie tasting plate at £16. (Photos of the menu are available here.)
We tried the "lumberjack chips" (£2.75), which were to Kake's taste but not Martin's, and gained points for having the skin left on but lost them again for being pre-salted (photo).
We visited on a Thursday evening. It was quite quiet for a pub so close to a mainline station, but in a good way (no struggle for a table, but not echoingly empty). The good weather probably helped though, as there were a number of people standing outside. The music was extremely cheesy (and not in a good way) and loud enough to slightly impede conversation.
They have a function room with a big screen.
Although there are three steps up to get into the pub, they have made an effort to overcome this problem by putting in a lift to get wheelchairs etc up from street level, and there is a disabled loo. Once you're in the pub, it's all on one level.
