This pub is pretty nice - inside is much shinier than outside. Downstairs there are loads of little cubby-holes with tables and benches (which I've never actually sat in, but I keep meaning to). Decor is mixed - a hefty dollop of New Trendy Pub with plenty of Art Deco-esque stuff as well. It works better than you would expect.

Food is pricey (�6 - �10 for mains, �4/5 for snackier meals) but fairly good - towards the upper end of pub food, I would guess.

There are usually three or so real ales on tap, and there's also draught Hoegaarden and Leffe. Beer, again, is no so cheap - about �2.50 a pint (and the Belgian ones probably more than that). I don't think it's more expensive than t'other pubs around there, though.
