Some people who have rate this quite highly. Cheap and copious. |

I had the lasagne at £4.25 - it was quite competent, came with chips and a small but nice salad. (Prices as of June 2003) Other dishes were things like Thai green curry, sausage and mash, fish and chips, pork chops, chilli con carne, that kind of thing. All around a fiver or less. --[[Kake]] |

(Note from Roger: more research is called for!)
Not particularly close to any Underground station, the Pakenham Arms is an unexpected Real Ale pub on the eastern borders of Bloomsbury.
Drinks
London Pride is standard, but there are usually six or seven other real ales on handpump.
Food
Not tried the food yet, but people who have rate it quite highly. Cheap and copious.
Service and Ambience
Sporting events are covered (sometimes two at once), but even then it's possible to find somewhere to sit down. This place is the local for the Mount Pleasant Sorting Office (hence the late licence); it's a cheerful crowd for the most part.
Service is fairly efficient; they won't take away a glass that still has beer in it (unlike some more "modern" establishments).
The walls are covered with old-style bar mirrors and 1930s(?)-era film posters.
Layout
One large U-shaped room surrounding the bar; wooden chairs, benches and barstools.
Facilities
The toilets are apparently of variable quality; they're also down and up a few steps.
