A truly lovely pub in Clerkenwell, just south of Islington. Very close to City, University of London, so lots of students and academics. A friendly clientele and great bar staff. Good chat with Charlie, the Manager, who explained the history of the pub’s name since new ownership (just before the first COVID lockdown).
Very good selection of cask and keg beers. The choice of pizzas on the board was very tempting and they smelt even better.
Beautiful tiled exterior. The outdoor space at the front is large, and set back from the main road. Even busy on a chilly December evening. I’m sure that this space is very popular in the summertime.
I highly recommend this pub and will definitely return.
Charmaine is probably one of the nicest barmaids I’ve ever come across! She welcomed our group with open arms and she felt like one of the family! Such a laugh reason to return when we’re next in town!
Once again Mr Google has fallen short on the number of stars available, six or seven needed! The feeling and attitude of the crew really makes this place. A fine pint of keg enjoyed. A bit thin today on the cask front, cider also available via the pump. Excellent place for a beer and company.
