Drinks
Addlestones cider, Hoegaarden, Staropramen, London Pride, a fair selection of stuff in bottles too, and a medium-sized wine list. No Strongbow :)
Food
Sandwiches around £5–£6, all in toasted focaccia with a small side salad, for example crayfish and mixed leaves (£5.80), hummous and peppers, that kind of thing. Main around £8. Sandwiches aren't bad, a little overpriced (like everything else in the area). The sausage sandwich is good, with loads of caramelised onions.
Service and Ambience
Service very slow the day we were there; only one person on the bar and the food took a while to come but there was another member of staff who kept wandering around and pestering people with food to ask if everything was OK. This pestering appears to be a management mandate, not the misjudgement of the individual staff members.
Benches outside but you're right next to the traffic so it can be a little hard to hear sometimes.
We came here at Friday lunchtime and it was surprisingly empty for such a nice day.
One of my co-workers comments that this isn't really a pub, more of a cross between a wine bar and a pub.
