Famous pub that gave its name to the surrounding district of London and its tube station. Only the ground floor is accessible these days, but that is a spacious area for eating traditional pub food and drinking (Samuel Smith beers etc.). Small beer garden outside is popular on sunny days.

Bit tired, the garden could do with some attention, but the location was handy and the beer was good. It was also a nostalgia trip as we used to drive past this place on the way into London when I was a kid. Wouldn't gandy driving around there now though.

Popped in for after work drinks, I forgot how much I loved the place, I haven't been for years and it was refreshing to see that it hasn't been stripped out and changed. It feels so cosy inside, like being in the Alps? That's questionable but it's warm, inviting and the food was lovely

Driven past this pub since I moved to London in 1992 but first time in there today!!
Lovely atmosphere. Wooden interior (playing on Swiss chalet I guess).
Very busy from 5pm on Friday, a few large groups.
We ate supper - a great scampi and chips, and good value for £12.50. Would visit again.

Fantastic atmosphere, nice staff and very tasty cider and fish and rice (I chose rice instead of chips)!

One of my favourite pubs in London, it has great beer (can't go wrong with Sam Smith's), a great atmosphere, food is reasonable and served quickly and has a great mix of workers, students, those out for a pre or post show theatre drink or food and just people having a quiet drink. Always try and pop in on my way back from or to Hampstead Theatre across the road...

The food was good. And drinks were different but fine. Owned by a brewery, so has its own branded bottles and tapped beers.
Don't expect carling or strongbow, but their beers were fine, a bit like a brew dog, and at brew dog prices. So, it was a bit expensive at £7 for a bottle of strawberry beer to try and see if you like it.

Definitely Ye Olde.

Went on a Saturday evening, it was surprisingly busy inside but was able to find a table, actually moved outside in the end because just was not nice inside.

It is incredibly outdated, the carpet is stained with 100 years of dirt and beer. The tables and chairs are also very short? As if for mh great ancestors.

The ales on offer are not too bad though. Don't recommend getting a cocktail but that shouldn't come as a surprise. Service left something to be desired.

If you're desperate for a pint then come and sit outside.
