Good beer selection but the roasts are pretty bad. Poor quality roast pork, lamb or beef, all drenched in a pretty terrible gravy. Staff are okay but the whole place seems more set up for craft lager consumption rather than a nice Sunday lunch with friends. Not sure why they don't offer table service when dining either. It's not hard.

Beef burger was served with Stilton instead of cheddar and the meat was a little crumbly. The sweet potato fries are good.

One of my favourite places in the world. Incredible selection of beers, knowledgeable staff and good atmosphere. Rarely too packed, good food selection and nice sunny front garden (if the weather behaves itself; heaters if it doesn't). They also do great beer tasting events. Highly recommended.

Absolute fav pub in London! It's under new management, and they couldn't be nicer. Outstanding service. The owners make you feel so welcome and at home and have completely transformed the vibe already. Can't wait for them to start the food, as if the current beer and service is anything to go by I'm sure it will be knock out.

The best Sunday roast I've ever had.

We popped in to check out the latest incarnation of this venue. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, so much so that you sat up and noticed. The beer selection was great, too; I particularly liked the amber ale, it might have been called Jack something? But if that wasn't good enough, the food was outstanding! I had the vegan roast, which was the best roast I've ever tasted, and that's not just because it was vegan, I actually also like the taste of meat. The starters, anchovies, were extremely well presented as well. All-round totally recommended, would give more than 5 stars if I could.

Really nice, friendly staff and a good selection of artisan beers on draft. I visited on a Tuesday evening for a beer after work and there was a chilled, relaxed vibe. Good selection of board games to play, and a downstairs which I can imagine gets busy on weekends. I’d like to visit again to try the food, as a Sunday Roast was advertised.

Great selection of every changing beers. The staff are really helpful and will often let you have a small taste if you don't know what you like. Food options have improved a lot too with options for Saturday brunch and Sunday roasts.

Amazing local pub, the owners make you feel right at home. The staff offer you table service and a bar tab if you wish and there are many craft beers on tap. An amazing homely experience in the center of London.
