Randomness Guide to London Menu

Samuel Smith's pub in Fitzrovia.

Really nicely done out inside, with lots of olde worlde charm and an open fire at one end. Upstairs, the dining room (with its own bar) serves no frills pub food (fish and chips, burgers, etc. -- the standard Sam Smith's menu) for reasonable prices (£5-£6 a main meal). There's plenty of outside seating in the alley alongside the pub if the weather is good.

The slightly retro-seeming Samuel Smith's drinks may take a while to get your head around, but are decent enough, especially for the price. They have Old Brewery Bitter on handpump, both upstairs and downstairs.
