I started March pretty well, in terms of competition wins. On the first of the month, a Tweet popped up from The Punchbowl in Mayfair, telling me I’d won dinner for four. EPIC. As my parents were due a visit, I thought it’d be the perfect chance for me to treat them for a change (as usually, it’s definitely the other way round. The student in me lives on).

I don't think I would have found this pub without looking up pubs in the area as it's on a back street that I had never been to before. Luckily I believe that is true for many other people who seemed to overcrowd the other pubs on the main roads of the area, leaving this little gem with lots of space for me and my boyfriend to find a table.
The interior is quite dark, with wooden decor and enough light to create a nice atmosphere but not light up the room. There was a good selection of beers and the staff were very polite.
The treatment from them was more like something you'd expect at a restaurant (someone to greet you and find you a seat) and they even brought the drinks to our table because they had to change the barrel and they didn't want to us to stand waiting at the bar.
They also asked us if everything was all right and said good night at the end. I must say, after all the pubs and bars I've been to where you wait ages to get served and the staff are too busy to notice anyone this was a welcome change.
I think it's a great place for a group or a couple of people to go have some quiet drinks and catch up when they don't want a big night out but still want to be somewhere central. Definitely a good find and I'd be happy to go back.
What a great evening. We've eaten in more pubs than I can remember but Tonight the food was good the service was great and the atmosphere perfect. Thankyou.
