[[bob]] and others visited on a Tuesday evening in March 2018. There were a few tables left when we arrived around 6pm, but it soon filled up. A game of darts was going on in one corner.

They also had three real ciders as well as several keg beers.
Does very basic pub food. The black pudding sandwedges are very good. Does salt beef sandwedges too. Also pasties.
== Line 6 == == Line 6 ==
Basic pub food was available: Pie Minster pies (&pound;5), baked camembert with bread and honey (&pound;5), and a selection of toasties including cheese (&pound;3), ham and cheese (&pound;4), and tuna melt (&pound;5). Pork scratchings were &pound;1.20
According to an advert in the August/September 2008 issue of London Drinker, the Wenlock has Liefmans Kriek on draught as well as a wide selection of continental bottled beer (including Duvel and Chimay), and it always has at least one mild on. The advert also says the function room is free to CAMRA members, and there's jazz piano on Sunday afternoons and jazz/blues every Friday and Saturday evening. An advert in the Spring 2009 newsletter of North London CAMRA says there's a quiz every Thursday from 9pm.

Good news for cyclists who don't want to get their bikes nicked! Tom says: &#8220;if it's not too crowded, the staff will usually let you take a bike indoors and leave it by the back door. There's room for 2 or 3 before it starts getting too snug there.&#8221;
